Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets Trade Flat As Sensex And Nifty Slip Marginally In Early Session
Stock Market Today, On June 1, 2026: Today’s Indian stock market traded mostly flat with a slight negative bias. The Sensex hovered in the 74,600–75,000 range, while the Nifty 50 stayed near 23,500–23,600, reflecting limited movement throughout the session. Market breadth remained weak, with over 2,000 stocks declining compared to around 1,600–1,700 advances, signalling cautious sentiment despite overall index stability. Broader markets also stayed rangebound, showing no clear directional trend. Sector-wise, IT stocks displayed relative strength, while banking, auto, and metal sectors remained mixed to weak. Overall, the market continued in a consolidation phase, driven more by stock-specific action than any strong overall momentum.
Dalal Street finished May on a weak note with the Sensex falling 2.8% – its worst May performance in six years – and the Nifty 50 declining 1.9%, its weakest May showing in four years. Friday’s session was a reminder of how volatile the market is. Nifty hovered around the 24,000 mark before slipping as much as 1.8% to an intraday low of 23,484.75. The Sensex has also staged a U-turn and dropped over 1,200 points from its intraday high.
Market participants will watch to see if Nifty can regain the 24,000 mark after today’s decline. Strength in IT stocks will provide the strength for a bounce back as the global mood is recovering with the continuous support of domestic institutional investors.
On the contrary, crude oil has made a comeback on the street. Brent has now returned to $93 a barrel, while WTI crude trades close to $89 a barrel after testing its six-week low. The possibility of crude oil touching a higher level is another major headwind in the inflation-sensitive sectors.
