Stock Market Today: Monday Blues — After Friday’s Bloodbath, Markets Poised for a Flat Start
Good morning, traders and investors. If you thought Friday’s brutal sell-off was just a one-day storm, Monday is opening with a heavy heart and cautious vibes. After the Sensex plunged over 720 points and the Nifty fell below 24,850 last Friday, leaving markets battered and bruised, today looks set for a flat opening — but don’t let that fool you.
Friday’s deep red close was driven by relentless selling pressure across almost all sectors, except pharma and healthcare. The media, IT, metals, and banking stocks bore the brunt, tumbling sharply. Investor sentiment is fragile, with global uncertainties and profit booking still looming large.
Over the weekend, the gloom hasn’t lifted much. Weak global cues and unresolved trade worries continue to weigh on sentiment. So, expect choppy action, low conviction, and more nervousness as the week kicks off.
But here’s a small ray of hope: markets often rebound when least expected. Stay cautious, watch for opportunities, and remember — every storm eventually runs out of rain. Keep your eyes peeled and your strategy ready.
Stock Market Opening Bell
The Indian Stock Market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty opened on RED note at 24,740.05 points, Whereas Sensex opened on a red and flat note at 81,185.50 with −277.59 from previous session.

What Could Move The Stock Market Today
Today’s market direction is influenced by a mix of global and domestic factors. Asian and European markets are showing mixed signals, while strong US earnings and rising bond yields add complexity. Investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve for any hints on interest rate changes or monetary policy shifts. Corporate results from major companies like Kotak Mahindra Bank and TCS are expected to impact sector performance. Meanwhile, ongoing US-China trade negotiations continue to create uncertainty. After Friday’s sharp decline, some profit booking may persist, though pharma and healthcare sectors are showing resilience.

Stock Market On Friday
Friday’s Sharp Decline Sends Caution Signals
Friday’s trading session on Dalal Street was disappointing as bearish sentiment took control, pushing key indices sharply lower. The Sensex tumbled 721 points (0.88%), closing at 81,463.09, while the Nifty 50 dropped 225 points (0.90%) to end at 24,837, marking a one-month low. The market’s decline was driven largely by intense selling pressure in financial stocks, dampening overall investor confidence.
Most sectoral indices were deep in the red, except pharma and healthcare, which showed resilience. The Nifty Media index suffered the worst losses, falling over 2.5%, while IT, Metal, Auto, PSU Bank, and Realty sectors each slipped by more than 1%. This widespread weakness reflects growing investor caution amid uncertain global cues and profit-taking ahead of upcoming key events.
If you’re invested, it’s time to brace for volatility and keep a close eye on market developments.
