Stock Market Today: Will Global Cues Keep Dalal Street on Edge This Friday?
The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open on a cautious note this Friday, as weak global signals and mixed investor sentiment continue to shape the market mood. Traders are maintaining stability through selective profit booking while balancing cautious optimism about near-term trends.
Dalal Street witnessed a turbulent trading session on Thursday. The Sensex closed at 82,248.61 after slipping 27.46 points, reflecting mild selling pressure in select heavyweight stocks. Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 rose by 14.05 points to settle at 25,496.55, indicating resilience as the index held firm near crucial support levels.
With Friday marking the final trading session of the week, anticipation typically rises a notch. As markets go “dark” for the next two days, investors often reassess positions and decide what they want to carry into Monday- well known for its unpredictability. Will traders play safe before the weekend, or bet on momentum? The answer could set the tone for the next week’s opening moves.
