\"Nifty,<\/figure>\n\n\n

Benchmark indices closed marginally lower on Thursday, 11 June, with the Nifty 50<\/strong> ending near 23,160<\/strong> and the Sensex<\/strong> around 73,833<\/strong>, as weakness in IT stocks, elevated crude prices and Middle East tensions pressured sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intraday volatility was high, with both indices recovering from sharp early losses before late selling pulled them back into the red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
