📈 Market Overview:

Summary of the Day's Market Performance

Market Overview

  • The Sensex fell 641.39 points (-0.8%) to close at 79,532.74, snapping a two-day rally.

  • The Nifty dropped 170.20 points (-0.7%) to 24,175.44, failing to breach the 25,000 resistance.

  • Midcaps (+0.2%) and Smallcaps (+0.1%) posted minor gains, showing resilience.

  • PSU Banks (+0.3%) and Real Estate (+0.2%) saw muted buying, while FMCG (-0.9%) and Auto (-0.7%) faced the most selling pressure.

💸 Market Transactions:

  • Foreign Institutional Investors (FII): Bought ₹348.45 crore

  • Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): Bought ₹10,104.66 crore

Strong DII inflows cushioned the market, despite subdued FII participation.

📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • The market saw volatility as investors booked profits amid valuation concerns and weakness in Asian markets. Large-cap stocks underperformed, with the Nifty unable to breach the 25,000 resistance, reflecting a lack of positive triggers and subdued FII activity.

  • Midcaps and Smallcaps held up better, supported by stronger-than-expected Q4 earnings and moderating premium valuations. Blue-chip earnings disappointed, adding pressure on heavyweights.

  • SEBI’s new rule on derivatives expiry—requiring BSE and NSE to pick either Tuesday or Thursday—marks the end of the expiry war, potentially reducing volatility in the future. Domestic macros (RBI’s 6.00% repo rate, low inflation) remain supportive, but global cues and earnings will drive near-term sentiment.

❓ DO YOU KNOW?

SEBI’s decision to standardize equity derivatives expiry to a single day (Tuesday or Thursday) by November 2025 aims to reduce market volatility, ending a two-year tussle between BSE and NSE.
