<h1>Equity indices snap six-day rally as IT and bank stocks lead losses; investors eye Fed remarks and tariffs</h1> Equity benchmarks fell in early trade, snapping a six-day rally as IT and banking stocks led losses; the 30-share benchmark dropped about 262 points to roughly 81,739 and the 50-share index fell about 82 points to roughly 25,002. Major technology and private-sector bank stocks were among the heaviest decliners, while select industrial and finance names gained. An analyst cautioned that proposed tariffs could curb the recent advance, and investors awaited remarks from the US Federal Reserve chair at an upcoming symposium. Foreign institutional investors were net buyers the prior session; Brent crude eased slightly.
