Indian equity benchmark slipped on Tuesday as investors booked profits across sectors, snapping the recent winning streak. The Sensex fell 297 points, or 0.36%, to 82,029.98, while the Nifty closed 81.85 points lower at 25,145.5.
Analysts said the 25,300–25,400 zone continues to act as a key resistance for the Nifty, while 25,000 remains a crucial support level. Markets are likely to stay range-bound with intermittent volatility until a clear breakout emerges.
Sector-wise performance:
- PSU Banks: Led the declines, with the Nifty PSU Bank index down 1.52% amid profit-booking in SBI and PNB.
- Consumer Durables: Fell nearly 1%, tracking weakness in Titan and Voltas.
- Media: Also slipped over 0.8%, with ZEEL and Sun TV facing selling pressure.
- IT & FMCG: Provided minor support; Tech Mahindra and Hindustan Unilever closed higher.
- Metals & Financials: Witnessed mixed trade; Tata Steel declined, while ICICI Bank held firm.
Broader markets mirrored the weakness as Nifty MidCap 100 dropped 0.75% and SmallCap 100 lost 0.89%.
Meanwhile, the rupee ended near a record low amid global dollar strength and cautious sentiment. Analysts expect volatility to persist as traders track global cues and earnings announcements.
