Market Overview

Summary of the Day's Market Performance

  • The Sensex fell 555.95 points (-0.68%) to close at 81,159.68, ending lower for the fifth session.

  • The Nifty dropped 166.05 points (-0.66%) to 24,890.85, falling below 24,900.

  • Midcap and Smallcap indices shed 0.6% each, reflecting broad-based declines.

  • Metal rose 0.22%, while Consumer Durables, Auto, Power, IT, and Realty fell 1% each.

💸 Market Transactions:

  • Foreign Institutional Investors (FII): Sold ₹5,097.51 crore

  • Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): Bought ₹5,105.60 crore

DII inflows nearly matched FII outflows, but couldn’t prevent the downturn.

📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • Indian markets extended their losing streak to five sessions, driven by profit booking, persistent FII outflows, and uncertainty over U.S.-India trade talks (50% tariff impact), potentially denting Q2 GDP growth. Heavy selling hit Auto, IT, Pharma, and Healthcare, though Metals gained from China’s liquidity support and copper supply concerns.

  • Sentiment remains cautious ahead of India’s H2FY26 borrowing and U.S. macro data due this week. Domestic fundamentals (GST 2.0, monsoon) and structural reforms offer resilience. Analysts expect Nifty to consolidate around 24,800–25,000, with support at 24,700—watch trade developments.

❓ DO YOU KNOW?

China’s $114 billion liquidity injection today, aimed at stabilizing its economy, lifted metal prices, with Shanghai copper hitting a six-month high amid Freeport-McMoran’s Grasberg mine force majeure.
