Stock Market Today
Sensex Today: Indian equity benchmarks saw a choppy trading session on Tuesday, slipping into the red after a subdued start amid mixed global signals.
As of 2:00 PM, the BSE Sensex had declined by 708.39 points, or 0.86%, to 81,468.06, while the Nifty50 dropped 242.70 points, or 0.97%, to 24,758.45.
Among the top laggards on the Sensex were UltraTech Cement, ITC, NTPC, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Axis Bank. On the other hand, IndusInd Bank and Asian Paints emerged as the key gainers.
Broader markets fared relatively better, with the Nifty SmallCap 100 edging down just 0.09%, and the Nifty MidCap 100 slipping by 0.08%.
Sectorally, the performance remained mixed. Nifty Auto, IT, Financial Services, FMCG, and Oil & Gas were in the red, declining up to 0.5%. Meanwhile, Nifty Energy, Media, Metal, Pharma, Realty, and Consumer Durables recorded modest gains.
Meanwhile, analysts say the early onset of the monsoon could bring a mixed bag for FMCG companies. Those with exposure to agri-linked or essential staples may see a boost, while players with a heavier focus on summer-centric product portfolios could face headwinds.
