The end to the financial year 2022-23 was quite painful as Nifty lost over 1,500 points in just over 3 months. The domestic market is the one of the most underperforming markets in the world in recent times, which has taken a toll on investors’ sentiment.

More generally, it’s not that easy making money from shorts. According to S3 Partners, a specialist New York-based consultancy that tracks short positions, short selling generated aggregate gains of $300 billion last year as stock markets fell. But that simply offsets some of the $572 billions of losses suffered over the previous three years.   

About 1,764 shares have advanced, 1,602 declined and 133 are unchanged. 

One of the trending news on the internet is the Hindenburg Research report which is raising concern over the debt positions of Adani group companies.

Shares of the company closed in green despite market correction.

The month of April was a wicked one for the stock markets across the world and Indian markets were no exception as Nifty plunged 2 per cent.
