Stock Market Today: Good morning, market watchers! What’s Cooking?

Buckle up, because the markets are still wobbling, and we’re all just trying to hang on for the ride.

After five straight sessions in the red, there was hope for a bounce today,  but Guess WHAT? GIFT Nifty had other plans, hinting at a soft start with a 19-point dip.Blame it on Trump (again).

The US President is back with a tariff tantrum, 100% duties on imported pharma, plus fresh levies on trucks and furniture. Asian markets didn’t take it well, and Wall Street isn’t smiling either.Back home, Sensex and Nifty opened lower, continuing the cautious mood. Tech stocks are sulking, pharma’s on alert, and even oil and gold have taken a breather. On a brighter side metals are still shining!

So grab your coffee and stay sharp. Between tariff drama, global cues, and stock-specific action, today’s market is anything but boring.

                Stock Market On Thursday 

                On Thursday, September 25, the Indian markets decided to put our patience to the test again, declining for the fifth consecutive day. The Nifty fell below 24,900, losing 166 points to close at 24,890.85, and the Sensex dropped 556 points to close at 81,159.68. Even midcaps and smallcaps were not spared, both falling by 0.7%.
                It was largely red across the board, with consumer durables, autos, power, IT, and realty dropping about 1 percent.
                The only shining stars from yesterday were Metals, which managed a small gain of 0.22%, proof that even in tough times, there’s a silver lining. Tata Motors, Trent, Shriram Finance, TCS, and Power Grid suffered the biggest blows, while Bharat Electronics, Hindalco, Axis Bank, ONGC, and Hero MotoCorp held their ground. So, buckle up, the market is always wobbly, but the game is far from over!
