  • Markets Trade Flat After Two Days Of Sharp Rally Amid Sluggish Global Trends

    Markets Trade Flat After Two Days Of Sharp Rally Amid Sluggish Global Trends


    Mumbai: Equity benchmark indices were trading flat in early trade on Wednesday amid sluggish global market trends due to rising US-China trade tensions.

    After two days of sharp rally, the 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex declined 165.3 points to 76,569.59 in early trade. The NSE Nifty dipped 51.55 points to 23,277.

    From the Sensex firms, Maruti, Sun Pharma, NTPC, Tata Steel, Reliance and Infosys were the biggest laggards.

    IndusInd Bank, Axis Bank, State Bank of India and Kotak Mahindra Bank were among the gainers.

    In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi index, Tokyo’s Nikkei 225, Shanghai SSE Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng were quoting lower.

    US markets ended in the negative territory on Tuesday.

    “The market construct appears positive after the Nifty recouping all the losses caused by April 2nd reciprocal tariffs. The market is indicating calm after the storm. But investors should not jump to the conclusion that stability has returned to the market and it is poised for further up moves. Since the trade war between US and China is heating up after China’s latest decision to halt exports of rare earths material and orders for Boeing, more actions, reactions and volatility are on the cards,” V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

    Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned buyers after days of selling as they bought equities worth Rs 6,065.78 crore on Tuesday, according to exchange data.

    Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.23 per cent to USD 64.52 a barrel.

    Rallying for the second straight session on Tuesday, the BSE benchmark jumped 1,577.63 points or 2.10 per cent to settle at 76,734.89. The Nifty surged 500 points or 2.19 per cent to 23,328.55.

  • Sensex Rebounds 318 Points On Expiry Day Amid FII Buying; HDFC Bank Major Mover

    Sensex Rebounds 318 Points On Expiry Day Amid FII Buying; HDFC Bank Major Mover


    Mumbai: Benchmark BSE Sensex rebounded by nearly 318 points on Thursday on buying in blue-chip HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, L&T, and Bajaj Finance amid foreign fund inflows.

    The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 317.93 points or 0.41 per cent to settle at 77,606.43 amid the monthly derivative contracts expiry day. During the day, it surged 458.96 points or 0.59 per cent to 77,747.46.

    The NSE Nifty rallied 105.10 points or 0.45 per cent to 23,591.95.

    From the Sensex pack, Bajaj Finserv, IndusInd Bank, NTPC, Larsen & Toubro, UltraTech Cement, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, Power Grid, Zomato, State Bank of India, HDFC Bank and Titan were the biggest gainers.

    Tata Motors tanked over 5.5 per cent after US President Donald Trump announced he would impose 25 per cent tariffs on imported cars.

    Sun Pharma, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bharti Airtel, HCL Tech and Mahindra & Mahindra were also among the laggards.

    “Domestic indices maintained optimism throughout the day, driven by sustained foreign fund inflows and the purchase of blue-chip stocks. However, the 25 per cent tariff on auto imports imposed by Trump has affected auto stocks and raised concerns within the pharma sector.

    “Despite these challenges, the broader market demonstrated resilience, supported by expectations of double-digit earnings growth in FY26, driven by easing inflation and a downward trend in interest rates, which are anticipated to improve domestic fundamentals,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

    Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth Rs 2,240.55 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data.

    The BSE smallcap gauge jumped 0.90 per cent and midcap index climbed 0.46 per cent.

    Among BSE sectoral indices, utilities jumped 2.09 per cent, services (1.61 per cent), realty (1.38 per cent), oil & gas (1.32 per cent), energy (1.22 per cent) and power (1.16 per cent).

    Auto and telecommunication were the laggards.

    In Asian markets, Shanghai and Hong Kong settled in the positive territory while Seoul and Tokyo ended lower. Equity markets in Europe were quoting lower. US markets ended in the negative territory on Wednesday.

    “The shift in FII stance, coupled with strength in banking and financial majors and rotational support from other heavyweights, is sustaining the positive sentiment. However, news related to US tariffs continues to trigger occasional volatility,” Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.

    Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.23 per cent to USD 73.62 a barrel.

    The BSE benchmark gauge tanked 728.69 points or 0.93 per cent to settle at 77,288.50 on Wednesday. The Nifty dropped 181.80 points or 0.77 per cent to 23,486.85.

  • Markets Bounce Back After Falling In Early Trade Amidst Buying In Smallcap And Midcap Stocks

    Markets Bounce Back After Falling In Early Trade Amidst Buying In Smallcap And Midcap Stocks


    Mumbai: Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty bounced back after falling in early trade largely due to buying in Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finserv.

    Buying in smallcap and midcap stocks also added to the optimistic trend in equities.

    The 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex declined 106.13 points to 76,426.83 in early trade. The NSE Nifty dipped 23.9 points to 23,139.20.

    However, soon both the benchmark indices recovered all the early lost ground and were trading higher. The BSE benchmark quoted 104.79 points higher at 76,655.65, while the Nifty traded 64.30 points up at 23,227.40.

    From the 30-share blue-chip pack, Tata Motors tanked nearly 8 per cent after the firm reported a 22 per cent fall in consolidated net profit to Rs 5,578 crore for the third quarter ended December 2024, impacted by a decline in revenue from its passenger and commercial vehicles divisions.

    ITC Hotels, Infosys, UltraTech Cement, ICICI Bank and Titan were the other laggards.

    However, Bajaj Finance traded 4.52 per cent higher followed by Bajaj Finserv which climbed over 3 per cent.

    Bajaj Finance on Wednesday reported an 18 per cent increase in its consolidated net profit to Rs 4,308 crore for the December quarter.

    Power Grid, IndusInd Bank, NTPC and Bharti Airtel were also among the gainers.

    The BSE smallcap gauge traded 1.35 per cent higher and midcap index quoted higher by 0.88 per cent.

    In Asian markets, Tokyo traded in positive territory. Markets in Seoul, Shanghai and Hong Kong were closed due to holidays.

    US markets ended lower on Wednesday.

    “The recovery in the market is healthy since it is being led by fairly valued largecaps. The rally can sustain if the Budget comes up with some strong growth stimulating measures that can improve the market sentiments too. However, a sustained rally can happen only if the FII selling stops and we get some leading indicators suggesting growth and earnings recovery.

    “Globally, the stock markets remain strong mainly due to the resilient US economy and the down trending interest rate cycle in the US. The Fed’s decision to pause yesterday was on expected lines,” V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said.

    Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,586.43 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data.

    “The Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.5%, maintaining a cautious ‘wait-and-see’ approach, leaving market sentiments subdued. FIIs continue their selling spree, and attention has now shifted to the Union Budget,” Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said.

    Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.05 per cent to USD 76.54 a barrel.

    The 30-share BSE benchmark jumped 631.55 points or 0.83 per cent to settle at 76,532.96 on Wednesday. The Nifty soared 205.85 points or 0.90 per cent to 23,163.10.

    Stock Market Updates: Sensex Trades Over 200 Points Higher; Nifty Above 23,200 – News18


    Last Updated:

    Benchmark indices, Nifty50 and Sensex, were seen trading lower in early trade, tracking mixed cues.

    share market today live

    Benchmark indices, Nifty50 and Sensex, opened flat on Thursday, reacting to mixed cues from global markets.

    At 10am, Sensex was up 200.73 points or 0.26 percent at 76,605.72, and the Nifty was up 65 points or 0.28 percent at 23,220.35

    UltraTech Cement and HDFC Bank emerged as the top gainers on the BSE, while HUL and Nestle were the biggest laggards. Similarly, on the NSE, UltraTech Cement and Wipro led the gains, while HUL and Nestle saw losses.

    The broader markets showed mixed trends. The Nifty SmallCap index dropped 0.17%, while the MidCap index traded 0.14% lower.

    Sector-wise, the Nifty IT index was the top performer, up 1%, while the Nifty FMCG index was the biggest loser, down 1%.

    Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research, Axis Securities, said: “The Nifty’s recovery traced a “tweezer bottom” formation alongside a “bullish harami” pattern that should provide some comfort to people looking for a lasting bounce. The long lower shadow from yesterday’s lows shows demand near the 23,000 area. Although longer-term support lies in the 22500 – 22700 zone, it’s critical for bulls to get past 23471. The NSE midcap index has reached a pivotal support cluster near 52,000 so the burden of proof is on bulls to protect the lows.

    Global Cues

    Asian markets traded mixed on Thursday as investors reacted to various economic data from the region. In Australia, the ASX 200 fell 0.42%, while Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.5%, and the Topix gained 0.42%. South Korea’s Kospi dropped 0.96%, following a report showing the country’s economy grew by just 1.2% YoY in Q4, its slowest pace since Q2 2023. However, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index climbed 0.75%, and China’s CSI 300 rose 1% at the open.

    In Singapore, inflation data for December is expected soon, and the Bank of Japan is holding a policy meeting today and tomorrow, with Governor Kazuo Ueda hinting at a potential rate hike.

    Overnight, the US stock market saw strong performance, with the S&P 500 hitting a fresh all-time high. The index rose 0.61%, reaching an intraday record of 6,100.81 before closing slightly lower at 6,086.37. The Nasdaq Composite surged 1.28% to 20,009.34, driven by gains in tech stocks like Oracle and Nvidia, fueled by optimism around artificial intelligence (AI). The Dow Jones Industrial Average also saw a modest gain, rising 130.92 points, or 0.3%, to close at 44,156.73.

    Investors are now awaiting US Jobless claims data for the week ending January 18.
