MARKET UPDATE: Sensex decreased over 250 points to trade at 57,168 levels while  Nifty50 declined nearly 50 points to trade below 17,090 levels

Opening Bell: Indian equity markets edged lower in today's (3rd October 2022) trade as investors digested rate hikes along with sluggish foreign inflows and muted global cues. Key indices Nifty50 declined nearly 50 points to trade below 17,090 levels and the S&P BSE Sensex decreased over 250 points to trade at 57,168 levels. The subdued risk appetite sent broader markets into a tailspin too, as Nifty MidCap 100 and Nifty SmallCap 100 lowered over 2 percent each. All sectors started trading on a volatile note. Nifty Energy, Nifty Media, and Nifty Pharma indices traded with marginal gains, whereas, Nifty Bank, Nifty Metal, and Nifty Auto indices were bogged down. While NTPC, Ultratech Cement, Sun Pharma, and Reliance Industries, attempted to trim losses for the benchmark indices; M&M, IndusInd Bank, Kotak Bank, and Titan, weighed on the indices. Among individual stocks, shares of ONGC soared over 5 percent after the government hiked prices of natural gas by 40 percent.
