Sensex Recovers Partially, Down Over 500 Points; Nifty Trades Below 17,050: 10 Points

India’s stock benchmark fell for a sixth straight session on Tuesday, tracking weaker global equities. The benchmark BSE Sensex slumped more than 1,000 points to hit a session low of 56,410, while the broader NSE Nifty slumped more than 300 points to hit a session low of 16,837. Both indices partially recovered from initial losses but remained in the red in early trade amid a highly volatile session. Asian shares and U.S. futures tumbled after overnight turmoil on Wall Street, with investors jittery about the situation in Ukraine and focusing on the Federal Reserve amid fears of global monetary tightening.

Here’s Your 10-Point Cheatsheet To This Big Story:

  1. Back home, as of 10:50 am, the 30-share Sensex pack was down 505 points or 0.88 per cent at 56,987, and the broader NSE Nifty fell 130 points or 0.76 per cent to 17,019.
  2. Mid- and small-cap shares were in the negative zone as Nifty Midcap 100 index fell 1.19 per cent and small-cap shares were trading 1.06 per cent lower.
  3. On the stock-specific front, Asian Paints was the top Nifty loser as the stock cracked 3.19 per cent to ₹ 3,054.60. Wipro, Divi’s Lab, L&T and Britannia were also among the laggards in opening deals.
  4. The overall market breadth was weak as 664 shares were advancing while 2,057 were declining on BSE.
  5. On the 30-share BSE platform, Asian Paints, Wipro, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC twins (HDFC and HDFC Bank) and Reliance Industries attracted the most losses with their shares sliding as much as 3.13 per cent.
  6. Ukraine tensions: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) said it was putting forces on standby and reinforcing eastern Europe with more ships and fighter jets, in what Russia denounced as Western “hysteria” in response to its build-up of troops on the Ukraine border.
  7. Fed announcement: The Federal Reserve will begin its two-day meeting later in the day, with investors starting to speculate that there is a small possibility that they will announce a surprise rate hike.
  8. Sensex had crashed 1,546 points or 2.62 per cent to close at 57,492 on Monday, while the broader NSE Nifty settled 468 points or 2.66 per cent lower at 17,149.
  9. It was the biggest single-session fall for both Sensex and Nifty since November 26.
  10. Over the last five sessions, the 30-share Sensex has tumbled 3,817.4 points or 6.22 per cent.

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.
