New Delhi, June 19 -- Stock market today: Indian stock markets declined for a second consecutive session on Wednesday, June 18, as rising tensions between Israel and Iran dampened investor sentiment. Caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve's policy decision further weighed on the mood.

The Sensex closed 139 points, or 0.17%, lower at 81,444.66, while the Nifty 50 slipped 41 points, or 0.17%, to end at 24,812.05.

The rangebound scenario remains a key challenge, with the market's failure to break higher causing concern. As trends struggle to revive and fresh triggers remain elusive, it will take resilience to navigate this uncertain environment.
