Stock market Today: Dalal Street looked like it had taken too much geopolitical caffeine on Friday, and the overarching fear dragged the Sensex down 516 points as the Nifty slipped below the 24,200 mark. Banking and PSU stocks took the majority of the impact, but the broader markets held their breath pretty well.
Smallcaps slipped into the green on Friday, which is a reminder that markets can be as unpredictable as a weekend weather forecast. IT, FMCG, and healthcare stocks offered some relief, but traders seem to be picking up the “risk-off” tool again in their playbook instead of heading into aggressive buying.

Stock Market On Wednesday
Dalal Street spent Thursday acting like an indecisive weather forecaster, stormy one minute, sunny the next. The Sensex dipped only 114 points in volatile trading, while the Nifty stayed above the 24,330 level, buoyed by hopes of a de-escalation of geopolitical stress as news floated of a possible US-Iran peace deal.
But the real fiesta was in the wider market. Midcaps and smallcaps ignored the risk-off sentiment as both indices outperformed benchmark peers. Auto, defence, and metal stocks attracted buyers, while FMCG and IT counterparts seemed to be begging for a weekend break from market pressure.
