📈 Market Overview:
Summary of the Day's Market Performance
Market Overview
The Sensex fell 182.01 points (-0.22%) to close at 81,451.01, ending the week on a softer note.
The Nifty dropped 82.90 points (-0.33%) to 24,750.70, staying range-bound.
Midcap and Smallcap indices gained marginally, showing resilience in the broader market.
Most sectors ended in the red. Metals, FMCG, and IT led declines, while PSU Banks (+2.9%) provided some support.

💸 Market Transactions:
Foreign Institutional Investors (FII): Sold ₹-6,449.74 crore
Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): Bought ₹9,095.91 crore
Heavy DII buying offset FII outflows, cushioning the market’s fall.
📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special
Markets remained range-bound, dragged by weakness in IT (Tech Mahindra, Infosys) and FMCG (Asian Paints) amid global tech uncertainties and a weak consumer demand outlook. The US appeals court’s temporary reinstatement of tariffs (reversing yesterday’s ruling) added to global trade concerns, prompting investor caution.
FII inflows earlier in the week, driven by US 10-year yield volatility and expectations of solid Q4 GDP data (due later today) and an RBI rate cut, provided some support. Selective buying in banking (SBI, HDFC Bank), infrastructure (L&T), and renewables (Suzlon) offered resilience.
Analysts expect Nifty to consolidate between 24,600 and 24,900, with support at 24,500 and resistance at 25,000, recommending selective investments in strong stocks like Eternal and SBI amid ongoing volatility.
❓ DO YOU KNOW?
Today, the US appeals court’s reinstatement of tariffs reverses a May 29 ruling that declared Trump’s tariffs illegal, potentially reimposing rates up to 245% on Chinese goods and impacting global trade sentiment.
