India’s BSE Sensex fell further to close about 0.7% down at 76,934 on Thursday, the lowest since August 19, extending losses from the prior day and lagging its Asian peers. Selling pressure intensified in the final part of the session, weighing on nearly all sectors, as caution prevailed amid lingering geopolitical uncertainty and ahead of the Jackson Hole Symposium. Heavyweight HDFC Bank was among the biggest drags, dropping 2.1%, following reports of a US class-action lawsuit and continued uncertainty around CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan's tenure.
