Stock Market On Monday

Monday Market Wrap: Nifty Dips Below 25,600, Sensex Slides Over 300 Points; Media and Realty Under Pressure

The drama that unfolded on Dalal Street on Monday made investors a bit wary, with Nifty falling below 25,600 and Sensex losing more than 300 points. Weak international cues, along with trade war concerns, brought about general profit booking in the market, but at the same time, selective purchasing of stocks in the FMCG and auto sectors provided a glimmer of hope. Wipro, Eternal, Tata Motors PV, and Max Healthcare were the ones that did not perform well, while InterGlobe Aviation, Tech Mahindra, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HUL, and Maruti Suzuki grabbed the attention. In terms of sectors, it was all red, media, Oil & Gas, and Realty dropped 1.5–2 percent, while FMCG remained the only defensive stronghold. Monday was a reminder to traders that a cautious approach is still the best strategy.
