Market Capitalisation Slips

What This Means For Investors

A 0.77% fall signals a mild pullback rather than a sharp selloff. More than three times as many stocks declined as advanced. This shows weakness spread across the market rather than one sector alone. Traders will watch upcoming sessions to see if the index stabilises.
