During the day, The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) received in-principle approval from the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to set up a Social Stock Exchange (SSE) as a separate segment of the NSE.

This increases the probability of large economies falling into a recession and experts see diminishing chances of a soft landing for the US economy.

Nifty 50 top gainers are Cipla, Divis lab, and Titan while Adani Ports, Adani Enterprises, Hindalco, Tata Steel, and Tata Motors were among the top losers.
