Stock market today: Nifty50 ends above 25,700 after volatile trade; Sensex gains 302 points - The Times of India
Indian equity markets ended lower as investors remained cautious amid weak global signals and renewed concerns over possible trade tariffs. Benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, faced selling pressure in early trade and struggled to recover throughout the session. Global markets showed mixed trends as uncertainty around US economic policies and statements linked to former President Donald Trump added to volatility. Export-oriented sectors such as IT and metal stocks witnessed notable declines due to fears of higher tariffs impacting global trade. Banking and financial stocks also saw mild profit booking after recent gains. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks underperformed, reflecting reduced risk appetite among investors. Market participants remained focused on international developments, currency movement, and upcoming economic data for further direction.
