Stock Market Today: Markets Start With a Bang, Then Dial Back the Excitement. Monday trading kicked off with a lot of energy. The Sensex jumped by over 500 points, and the Nifty sort of briefly crossed 23,700. Still, that initial push couldn’t really stay steady as the morning rolled along, and the indices gave back some of those early gains, not all, but enough. Around 9:20 AM, the Sensex was up by 264 points at 75,039.7, while the Nifty was trading 84 points higher at 23,631.85. In terms of movers, IndiGo, Asian Paints, Infosys, TCS, and Tech Mahindra got a decent amount of buying attention, pretty clear. The banking basket looked a bit split up. AU Small Finance Bank, Yes Bank, and HDFC Bank edged higher; however, Union Bank, ICICI Bank, IDFC First Bank, and Axis Bank slipped slightly. For now, the market seems to be probing whether the early optimism has enough steam to carry it through the whole day.

Stock Market On Friday
Right when investors were thinking, okay, maybe a quiet end to the week, the bears showed up late, like too late, but still somehow in full drama mode. Indian benchmark indices ended Friday far into the red, and the selling pressure basically spread across nearly all segments, minus IT. The Sensex dropped 1,092 points and settled at 74,775.74. The Nifty also slipped 359 points, closing just under the 23,550 level at 23,547.75. And it wasn’t just the big names taking the hit either. Midcap and smallcap shares also slid as market mood got more subdued. Auto, metal, energy, and oil & gas led the fall, while IT carved out a rare bright spot. Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Wipro, and HCLTech managed to hang onto gains, so even during a rough session, someone still ends up in the winners’ circle.
