Sensex, Nifty fall today on global worries but IPO GMPs remain steady

IPO GMP today: The benchmark equity indices fell sharply during early trade on Monday and continued to trade lower amidst negative global sentiments. Traders worldwide are concerned that the Federal Reserve might be slow to respond to the US economic slowdown by cutting interest rates. At around 10:50 AM, the Sensex was quoted at 79,074, down 1,907 points or 2.36 per cent, while the Nifty50 was around 24,145, down 572 points or 2.32 per cent.

However, amidst this, the Indian primary market remains intact as the grey market premiums (GMP) of ongoing initial public offerings (IPOs) have not witnessed any significant change on Monday. A GMP is the premium amount at which IPO shares are traded before they are listed on the stock exchanges. This also indicates investor sentiment towards public issues. A higher GMP indicates growing demand for the public issue among investors, while a lower premium suggests otherwise.
