Benchmark domestic equity indices Sensex and Nifty closed in the red on Tuesday, marking their third consecutive day of losses. Despite opening on a positive note and witnessing a brief intra-day recovery, the markets slipped in the second half, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.
The Sensex fell 58 points to 82,102, while the Nifty shed 33 points to settle at 25,170. Broader market indices also weakened, with the BSE Mid-Cap index down nearly 0.3% and the Small-Cap index slipping over 0.3%.
Sector-Wise Performance
- Banking & Financials: Private banks came under selling pressure, dragging the indices lower, while PSU banks remained mixed.
- IT Stocks: Tech counters traded weak amid global uncertainty in the US markets, weighing on Nifty IT.
- Energy & Oil: Select oil & gas shares gained marginally on firm crude prices, lending some support.
- FMCG & Consumer Goods: The FMCG pack stayed resilient, with safe-haven buying witnessed in defensive counters.
- Metals & Realty: Both sectors ended in negative territory, reflecting weak demand outlook.
Investor Sentiment
Analysts attributed the volatility to profit-booking by investors, weak global cues, and caution ahead of key economic data releases later this week. Market experts suggest that the near-term trend will likely remain range-bound until fresh triggers emerge, with global market trends and foreign institutional investor (FII) activity playing a crucial role.
