March 10, 2026 – Indian stock benchmarks deepened losses on Monday, with the Sensex shedding 800 points to close below 80,000 and the Nifty slipping under 24,300, dragged by IT and banking heavyweights amid fresh US-China trade rhetoric and persistent FII outflows exceeding ₹4,500 crore. Domestic funds provided limited cushion via selective buying in defensives.
In a sign of heightened volatility, 45 stocks triggered lower circuit breakers, predominantly in mid- and small-caps, as panic selling overwhelmed bids across niche sectors like defense and retail.
