Market Crash Close Highlights, Friday, September 6, 2024: Indian benchmark indices BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 dropped more than 1 per cent each to close deep in the red on Friday, as the Indian markets were buffeted by regulatory headwinds, while some investors likely booked profits at record levels before the release of US jobs and payrolls data later in the day in the US. 
At closing bell, the BSE Sensex was down 1,017 points, or 1.24 per cent, at 81,183.93, while the wider Nifty 50 was at 24,852.15, down 292.95 points, or 1.17 per cent.
On the 30-stock Sensex, losses (of up to 4.4 per cent) were led by SBI, NTPC, ICICI Bank, HCLTech, and Reliance, while overall, 23 stocks in the index closed in the red. Meanwhile, gains (of up to 1.22 per cent) on the index were led by Bajaj Finance, Asian Paints, JSW Steel, Sun Pharma, and Maruti Suzuki India.
On the Nifty 50 index, eight stocks advanced, with gains (of up to 1%) led by Bajaj Finance, Asian Paints, JSW Steel, LTIMindtree, and Nestle India, while 42 stocks ended in the red. Losses (of up to 4.3 per cent) were led by SBI, BPCL ICICI Bank, NTPC, and HCLTech.
That apart, all the sectoral indices on the NSE ended in the red. The PSU Bank index was down the most (down 3.57 per cent), followed by the Oil and Gas index (down 2.16 per cent). Other than that, the Bank and Financial Services services, along with Auto had lost more than 1 per cent each, while the rest were down around 1 per cent.
Even the broader market felt the pinch of the sell-off in the markets today, with the BSE SmallCap losing 0.96 per cent, while the BSE MidCap closed down 1.41 per cent.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Nifty broke the 25,000-25,100 support zone, forming a bearish engulfing candle'

The Nifty50 index broke the 25,000-25,100 support zone on Friday, forming a bearish engulfing candle on the weekly scale. On the daily chart, Nifty closed below its 21-Day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), indicating further weakness. The next major support is near 24,480, where the 50-DEMA is positioned. In the short term, any bounce should be seen as an opportunity to book profits.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'SEBI's FIIs disclosure deadline won't impact India's lucrativeness in long-term'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market was in panic today due to the SEBI's deadline over FIIs disclosure norm, however this is not expected to impact India’s lucrativeness to FIIs in the long-term. Coupled with lack of new market catalysts and elevated valuations, a muted trend is expected to continue in the short-term. Global markets are also adopting a cautious stance ahead of the release of the US non-farm payroll data. Additionally, the continuous decline in oil prices to a 14-month low and weak job openings data are heightening fears of a slowdown in the US in the near term.
