<h1>Markets slip after profit-taking, ending winning streak as tech and auto stocks fall ahead of US Fed decision</h1> Benchmark domestic equity indices fell modestly as investors engaged in profit-taking after a recent rally, halting an eight-day win streak on the broader index and ending a five-day run on the benchmark. Volatility was driven by selling pressure in information-technology and automobile stocks while select financials and industrials gained. Market participants cited anticipation of an upcoming US central bank policy decision and guidance on future rate direction as key catalysts. Trading trends, foreign institutional net inflows, commodity price moves, and earnings expectations were identified as supporting factors that may influence compliance with disclosure and market conduct obligations.
