After reaching its peak valuation, WeWork faced a series of challenges that led to its downfall. In September 2019, the company filed for an initial public offering (IPO), which revealed its significant losses.

Nifty performed well after opening weak today, recovering almost 100 points from the bottom. I think these are very good signs that the Indian market is in strong hands right now.

Overall, if we look at companies like ONGC, NTPC, and several other public sector stocks, they did well today. Some banks also edged up; Axis Bank was up, State Bank was up by 0.2%, and HDFC Bank was up by 0.3%. IT stocks, however, were down with TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech all experiencing a downturn. Hindustan Lever and ITC were up about half a percent. Reliance was muted, and the auto sector was largely flat. So, it was largely a flat to slightly positive day.
