Indian stock markets ended lower on Thursday after giving up early gains, as investors remained cautious amid global uncertainty and sectoral weakness.
The BSE Sensex closed at 75,183.36, down 135.03 points or 0.18%, while the Nifty50 ended almost flat at 23,654.7, down 4.3 points or 0.02%. The market mood remained mixed as weakness in select heavyweight sectors dragged the indices lower.
The pressure mainly came from IT, FMCG and financial services stocks. According to the report, Bajaj Finance, Tech Mahindra and Hindustan Unilever were among the top losers on the Nifty50. On the sectoral front, Nifty FMCG, Nifty IT and Nifty Financial Services declined the most.
However, the broader market showed some resilience. The Nifty Midcap 100 ended 0.04% lower, while the Nifty Smallcap index closed 0.63% higher, indicating that selective buying was still visible outside largecap stocks.
Among outperforming sectors, Nifty Realty and Nifty Cement stood out, with the Cement index closing over 2% higher. This shows that while headline indices remained under pressure, some sector-specific momentum continued in the market.
Global cues also remained important for traders, especially developments around the US-Iran peace proposal and the situation in West Asia. Any change in geopolitical tension can impact crude oil prices, inflation expectations, rupee movement and overall market sentiment.
Overall, the market appears to be in a cautious phase. Largecap pressure is visible, but broader markets are not showing complete weakness. For investors, this is a stock-specific market where risk management and sector selection matter more than simply following the index.
