Benchmark equity indices ended Monday’s session with marginal losses, snapping last week’s winning run. The BSE Sensex slipped 119 points, or 0.15 per cent, to close at 81,786, while the NSE Nifty-50 declined 45 points, or 0.18 per cent, to settle at 25,069.
Index Movers
Within the Sensex pack, 20 of 30 stocks ended in the red. Major drags included Mahindra & Mahindra (-1.7%), Asian Paints (-1.6%), and Infosys (-1.1%). On the gaining side, Bajaj Finance (+0.7%), Eternal (+0.6%), and Ultratech Cement (+0.5%) cushioned the fall.
Sectoral Performance
Of the 21 BSE sectoral indices, 14 closed higher.
- Top Gainers: Realty surged 2.5%, Industrials gained 0.6%, while Telecom and Power both advanced over 0.5% each.
- Top Losers: Focused IT shed 0.6%, the broader IT index dropped 0.6%, and Consumer Durables fell 0.5%.
Market Breadth
Despite benchmark weakness, market breadth was positive at the BSE. Out of the traded shares, 2,209 advanced, 2,008 declined, and 172 remained unchanged.
Analysts noted that profit-booking in heavyweights, particularly IT and auto counters, capped gains, even as mid- and small-cap segments showed resilience.
Top Gainers & Losers
The top losers from the Sensex pack were Asian Paints, Mahindra and Mahindra, Titan, Infosys, Sun Pharma, TCS, and Tech Mahindra. Meanwhile, Bajaj Finance, Eternal, L&T, and Adani Ports were among the stocks that settled higher.
Market Outlook
Analysts believe the market took a breather as the Nifty closed below the 25,100 mark. A decisive breakout above the 25,150 level could lead to a rally towards the 25,300 zone. However, given the recent upward trend, some profit booking at higher levels is expected. The recommended strategy for investors is to “buy on dips.”
