Indian Stock Market Update: If you follow the market closely every day, today was a somewhat disappointing day. For the second consecutive session, the Indian stock market showed pressure, and concern was clearly visible on investors’ faces.
The atmosphere was tense from the start, and by the end of the trading day, both the Sensex and Nifty closed in the red. At a time when stability was expected from the market, global news once again shook investor confidence.
Why did the Sensex and Nifty fall?
In today’s trading, the Sensex closed down by approximately 245 points at 83,382, while the Nifty also slipped 67 points to 25,665. This market pressure had been building since the morning. The biggest reason for this was the news from the US, which mentioned imposing a 25 percent tariff on countries trading with Iran.
This decision increased global tensions, and its impact was clearly visible on the Indian market. Investors seemed to be avoiding risk, and profit-booking intensified.
Metal and Public Sector Banks Showed Strength
Although there was a general decline across the market, not every sector succumbed. Metal and public sector bank stocks emerged as a ray of hope today. Both these sectors saw a gain of more than two percent. The rise in metal stocks was due to rising prices in the global market and expectations of interest rate cuts in the US.
Meanwhile, buying in PSU banks clearly indicated that investors are still showing confidence in sectors with strong fundamentals.
IT Sector a Major Reason for the Decline
On the other hand, today was quite challenging for the IT sector. This sector registered a decline of more than one percent. Global uncertainty and trade tensions related to the US seemed to have a greater impact on IT companies.
Mid-cap and small-cap stocks also remained volatile, although activity was slightly better here, and some selective buying was also seen.
Experts’ Opinion: What will the market mood be like going forward?
Market experts believe that the stock market is currently trading within a limited range. According to Kotak Securities, the Nifty is finding strong support around 25,600, while profit-booking begins as it approaches 25,800.
Geojit Investments states that the uncertainty surrounding the trade deal between India and the US is keeping foreign investors cautious for now. However, it is also a relief that there are indications of renewed talks between the two countries, which could restore market confidence in the future.
What do the indicators suggest for investors?
The current situation suggests that there is no need to panic in the market, but caution is necessary. Opportunities are emerging on a sectoral basis, and gradually investing in strong stocks could be a prudent approach. Until the global situation becomes clearer, the market is expected to remain volatile.
