Buy or sell stocks, Feb. 21 -- Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 settled lower for the third straight session after fresh tariff threats, weak Asian markets, and foreign fund outflows hurt investor sentiment. The frontline indices have changed little this week after slipping to their lowest since early June on Friday.

The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 203.22 points, or 0.27 per cent, to settle at 75,735.96. During the day, the index tanked 476.17 points, or 0.62 per cent, to 75,463.01. The NSE Nifty 50 dipped 19.75 points, or 0.09 per cent, to close at 22,913.15. Selling pressure in heavyweight stocks such as HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, ITC, and Maruti Suzuki India dragged down the major indices.
