Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian stock market closed with notable declines amid broad-based selling pressure, particularly in banking, financials, and realty sectors. The BSE Sensex fell by approximately 287 points (0.34%) to close near 83,409, while the NSE Nifty slipped about 88 points (0.35 per cent) to end around 25,453. The key reason for the negative closing was a sharp selloff in major financial stocks such as Shriram Finance, Bajaj Finserv, IndusInd Bank and Bajaj Finance, which weighed heavily on the indices.

The Nifty Bank index dropped 0.80 per cent, dragging down the overall market sentiment. Realty stocks also fell sharply, with Nifty Realty declining 1.4 per cent, marking its fifth consecutive day of losses. This sectoral weakness was compounded by cautious investor sentiment amid concerns over high valuations, persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) selling, and mixed global cues. On the positive side, metal stocks including Tata Steel and JSW Steel outperformed, gaining around 2 per cent, supported by easing coking coal prices and cost reduction efforts by companies.
