Indian equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended sharply lower in the last trading session amid heavy selling pressure under the shadow of rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The Nifty fell 385.20 points or 1.55 per cent to settle at 24,480.50, while the Sensex declined by 1,122.66 points, or 1.40 per cent, to close at 79,116.19. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to sell and offloaded equities worth Rs 880.49 crore. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided strong support by purchasing equities exceeding Rs 12,068.17 crore. Amid this volatility, there is an opportunity for investors to earn some additional profit from their investment as stocks of several companies are set to trade ex-date for dividends. In order to be eligible for the corporate actions, investors must hold these shares on or before the ex-date.
