European indices also slipped amid political uncertainty in France and cautious Fed commentary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FII Selling Pressure<\/strong> Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded stocks worth <strong>\u20b92,466 crore<\/strong>, continuing their selling streak. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) attempted to cushion the fall but couldn\u2019t offset the pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rupee Weakness<\/strong> The Indian rupee depreciated by <strong>22 paise<\/strong>, closing at <strong>\u20b987.78\/USD<\/strong>, driven by dollar demand from importers and uncertainty around trade flows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Broad-Based Sectoral Decline<\/strong> Except for FMCG, all major sectors ended in the red.
