Stock Market Today: Friday Feels- Markets Wake Up on the Wrong Side
Good morning! If you were hoping to cruise into the weekend on a high note, the markets had other plans. Thursday ended on a bit of a downer—more “ugh” than “up.”
After showing signs of recovery earlier in the week, both the Sensex and Nifty took a sharp turn south. The Sensex dropped over 540 points, while the Nifty closed below 25,100. Just when it felt like things were finally settling, the rug got pulled out again.
What happened? A mix of weak global cues, some heavy profit booking, and maybe just plain old market mood swings. Even with strong earnings from names like Infosys and Bajaj Finance, the broader market wasn’t in the mood to celebrate.
Globally, things aren’t looking too cheery either. U.S. markets were wobbly, Asia followed suit, and investors are still trying to figure out what the Fed’s next move might be. There’s also fresh nervousness around China and trade talks.
So here we are—Friday morning, slightly bruised and hoping today doesn’t follow the same script. But hey, markets are unpredictable creatures. All it takes is one good headline or earnings surprise to turn the tide.
Until then, take a deep breath, sip that coffee a little slower, and keep your eyes on the open. Let’s see how this one plays out.
The Indian Stock Market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty opened on RED note at 24,944.60 points, Whereas Sensex opened on a red and flat note at 81,825.88 with −358.29 from previous session.
The market looks volatile today! Global clues still suggest a mixed day ahead!
Global markets are sending mixed signals today. In Asia, things started off on a quiet note—Japan’s Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi both opened lower, showing signs of cautious investor mood. GIFT Nifty is also pointing to a negative start for Indian equities, so don’t expect fireworks at the opening bell.
Over in Europe, there’s some positive energy. Hopes for a potential EU-U.S. trade deal lifted market sentiment. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank (ECB) decided to keep interest rates steady at 2%, saying they’ll take a “wait and watch” approach going forward.
In the U.S., tech stocks are on fire! The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs, but the Dow Jones didn’t keep up and slipped a bit. Jobless claims fell to 217,000—great news for the labor market. Also worth noting: the U.S. 10-year bond yield rose to 4.4%. And in commodities? Gold dipped slightly while oil climbed above $69 a barrel.
