Benchmark domestic equity indices, Sensex and Nifty, continued their downward momentum for the eighth consecutive session, closing marginally lower in a range-bound trade. The BSE Sensex shed 97 points to end at 80,268, while the NSE Nifty slipped 24 points to settle at 24,611.
The broader market remained largely unchanged, with both the BSE Mid-Cap and Small-Cap indices showing minimal movement, reflecting investor caution amid global uncertainties and lack of fresh domestic triggers.
In the Sensex pack, 17 out of 30 stocks managed to close in the green. Ultratech Cement and Adani Ports led the gainers, each rising over 1.4%. Tata Motors added nearly 1.2%, while Bharat Electronics Limited gained close to 1%. On the downside, Bharti Airtel and ITC both declined over 1.2%, and Trent fell more than 1.1%.
Sectoral performance at the Bombay Stock Exchange was mixed. Out of 21 sectoral indices, 15 ended in the red. Telecommunication was the worst performer, dropping over 0.9%, followed by Realty and Consumer Durables, which lost nearly 0.8% each. The Teck index also slipped 0.5%. On the positive side, the Metal index advanced 1.1%, Commodities rose over 0.6%, and Auto added 0.3%.
Despite the benchmark indices closing lower, market breadth at the BSE was marginally positive. A total of 2,047 stocks advanced, 2,046 declined, and 167 remained unchanged, indicating a balanced sentiment across broader segments.
Analysts suggest that the market may continue to remain volatile in the near term, with investors closely watching upcoming macroeconomic data, global cues, and corporate earnings for direction.
