After trading positive throughout, the Indian market extended losses for the sixth day on Wednesday as it succumbed to selling pressure and volatility arising out of geopolitical tensions surrounding Russia-Ukraine conflict. The benchmarks Nifty and the Sensex corrected 0.17% and 0.12% as the former ended below 17,100 and the latter above 57,200.

The 12-share Bank Nifty ended with marginal gains as the banking index managed to close near 37,400. The broader markets too pared earlier gains, but nevertheless managed to end the day in the green as the small cap and mid cap indices gained up to around 1 per cent in the closing. 

Realty, Consumer Durables and PSU Bank remained the leading sectors as auto, financial services witnessed maximum selling pressure in the closing hours.

Meanwhile, global stocks continued to decline on back of escalating tension between Ukraine and Russia. Global stocks extended a sell-off, the yen strengthened, and U.S. Treasury prices rose on Thursday as investors sought shelter in safe-haven assets amid growing fears of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, said a Reuters report. 

As one of the worst post-Cold War security crises in Europe for decades worsens, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he believes Russia will invade Ukraine within hours after separatists on Wednesday asked for Moscow`s help and as explosions rocked the breakaway eastern city of Donetsk.  

Overnight, U.S. stocks took a beating, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 1.38% to barely above the level that would have confirmed a correction. The MSCI World Index, a leading gauge of equity markets globally, skidded to its lowest level since April 2021.  

In Asia on Thursday, the selloff showed no signs of abating.  

MSCI`s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 1.0% in early trade, with Australian shares diving 2.67%. In Tokyo, the Nikkei was 1% lower. Chinese blue chips fell 0.5%.
