Indian Stock Market Ends Six-Day Rally; Global Sentiment Drags
The Indian stock market, after going up for six days in a row, ended its winning streak today.
This happened because investors decided to sell some of their stocks to make a profit, which is normal after a long period of gains.
This selling was seen across many different parts of the market, including smaller companies.
People are now waiting for some important economic news from the United States to see what will happen next in the market.
Indian benchmark indices retreated after a six-day advance, with the bulls failing to retake record highs.
Profit-taking ensued after the recent rally, with investors eyeing key US economic data for cues on the Fed rate cut path.
The 30-share BSE Sensex declined 278 points or 0.33% to 84,673, while its NSE counterpart Nifty 50 lost 103 points or 0.40% to 25,910.
The selling was broad-based, with all major sectoral indices declining in trade today. The broader market also came under pressure, with the BSE Midcap index shedding 0.70% and BSE Smallcap index 0.85%.
Investors now await this week’s U.S. jobs data, which will be key in shaping the Fed’s policy outlook.
