Stock market Today: Closing Bell | Dalal Street Swings Wildly Before Settling Lower; Heavyweights Drag Sensex And Nifty Down in Final Hour

Stock market Today: Markets see volatile tug-of-war in final stretch as indices trim losses; rupee stays under pressure. It’s a see-saw session on Dalal Street as traders try to find a clear path. The Sensex was at 75,183.39 points at 3:30 pm, down 131.65 (0.17%), whereas the Nifty fell 43.90 points (0.19%) to 23,606.05. What’s interesting is that we’re still seeing positive market breadth, hinting that the selling pressure is from heavyweight stocks rather than a broad-based selloff. Earlier, the rupee also slipped past ₹96.50 per dollar to a new record low on pressure from buoyant Brent crude and geopolitical tensions. So where does the fear lie- oil, currency weakness or fear of late profit booking after the rally? The final hour may hold the answer, keep on watching, traders.
