Stock Market On Monday

Indian markets extended their downward trend on Monday, with the Nifty slipping below 23,400 and the Sensex falling by 508 points, as investors closely monitored developments in the ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations. Overall, cautious sentiment outweighed positive global cues, resulting in broad-based selling across sectors. The Sensex ended the day at 74,267.34, down 0.68%, while the Nifty closed at 23,382.60, lower by 0.70%. Market breadth remained weak, with decliners comfortably outnumbering advancers. Broader markets also came under pressure, as both midcap and smallcap indices ended the session in negative territory. Auto, FMCG, PSU banks, consumer durables, and realty stocks were among the biggest losers. Meanwhile, the IT sector emerged as a bright spot in an otherwise weak market. Tech Mahindra, Infosys, and TCS helped limit the damage, highlighting the sector’s continued appeal as a relatively defensive play for investors.
