To combat the high inflation that had beaten the global financial markets, the US Federal Reserve announced a 75-basis point interest rate hike overnight. The rupee fell to a record low in today's early trades, while the dollar rose to a new two-decade high. 

All of the major Asian markets were trading lower as a result of the global economic downturn. The SGX Nifty indicated a gap-down opening for India's broader index, and as expected the Indian headline indices began lower. 

The indices were dragged down by over 1 per cent declines in the BSE Financial Services and BSE Bankex sectors, whereas, similarly to yesterday, when the majority of sectors were trading weak, the BSE Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector drew investors' attention with gains of nearly 1 per cent. 

At market closing, the BSE Sensex fell 0.57 per cent, reaching a level of 59,119. The Nifty 50 index slipped 0.50 per cent to the 17,629 level. On the Sensex, Titan, Hindustan Unilever and Asian Paints were the Top Gainers, whereas Power Grid Corporation of India, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank were the market draggers.
