Stock market today, March 11 -- The main benchmark indices in India, the Nifty 50 and Sensex, dropped on Tuesday, primarily driven by declines in the information technology and private banking sectors, as they mirrored a widespread sell-off across Asian markets following a sharp decline on Wall Street due to concerns that the US economy might be headed for a recession.

This downturn came after US President Donald Trump declined to provide an outlook on whether the country could enter a recession, raising worries about his tariff strategies and increasing investor anxiety regarding global economic stability.

As of 12:12 IST, the Nifty 50 decreased by 0.13% to 22,431.05, while the Sensex fell by 0.26% to 73,924.82.
