                      Stock Market Tuesday

                      The market finally hit the brakes on Tuesday after a six-day joyride, with the Sensex slipping 278 points and the Nifty cooling off to 25,910. Midcap and small-cap traders felt the pinch too, as both indices lost steam after touching fresh highs.

                      Even Nifty Bank couldn’t hold its early buzz. Every sector ended painted in red, especially IT, metals, and realty. Still, a few heroes, Bharti Airtel, Axis Bank, Power Grid, Bajaj Auto, held the fort while Tech Mahindra and Tata Consumer dragged their feet. So, what do you think, healthy breather or the start of a mood swing?
