Market Wrap: Sensex, Nifty Finish in the Red; Markets Auto and IT Drag, Real Estate Provides a Helping Hand
The Indian stock market ended on a small down note. By the close of the trade, the Sensex had declined by 118.96 points (0.15%) to 81,785.74 and Nifty had gone down by 44.80 points (0.18%) to close at 25,069.20. The market penetration was inconsistent: there were about 2,052 shares that moved up, 1,756 that fell, and 163 that did not change.
Midcap and smallcap stocks were some relief and grew by 0.4% and 0.7% respectively. At the sectoral level, consumer durables, auto, IT, and pharma fell down (0.3%–0.6%), while capital goods, realty, power, and telecom rose in the 0.5%–2.5% variance.
Jio Financial, UltraTech Cement, Bajaj Finance, Eternal, and Adani Ports were among the top Nifty gainers. Some big laggards were Shriram Finance, Asian Paints, Mahindra and Mahindra, Cipla, and Laboratories of Dr Reddy.
The net effect was a down day in the markets today, which was burdened by the inability of the auto and IT segments to perform, even though realty and infrastructure performed well in spots.
