Market Performance
Indian markets extended losses for the fifth straight session on Thursday, as weak global cues, foreign outflows and visa-related worries pressured investor sentiment. The Sensex dropped 555.95 points, while the Nifty50 slid 166.05 points to settle at 24,890.85.
Broader markets too were under pressure, with most sectoral indices ending in the red — only metals managed a modest gain. The Nifty Auto and IT indices were among the weak links, while Realty again lagged.
Reflecting on the market performance today, Amruta Shinde, Technical & Derivative Analyst, said, "On the technical front, the Nifty breached 25,000 decisively and closed well below, signaling increased downside bias with resistance now seen around 25,000–25,050. and support seen around 24,700-24,750 respectively. The Bank Nifty also underperformed, facing selling across both private and public bankers."
Volatility was back in focus — the India VIX rose about 2.16% to 10.75, indicating expectations of further swings ahead.
She adds, With foreign selling showing no abatement and U.S. visa policy headwinds dragging especially on IT and export-oriented names, markets may remain choppy in near term.
