Stock market today: On Monday, November 24, the Indian stock market ended the day lower due to profit-taking in a number of sectors and conflicting signals from around the world.
For the second day in a row, the Nifty 50 fell 109 points, or 0.42%, to close at 25,959.50, while the Sensex fell 331 points, or 0.39%, to close at 84,900.71. The BSE Smallcap index dropped 0.83%, while the Midcap index dropped 0.27%.
“On Monday, the markets finished almost half a percent lower after trading with a muted bias. The Nifty index had a strong start and spent the majority of the session moving in a small range before falling sharply in the last 30 minutes. In the end, it settled at 25,959.50, a 0.42% decrease.
With the exception of IT, every major sector index ended the day lower, with real estate, metal, and energy leading the losses. Ahead of significant international events and the monthly derivatives expiry, both the midcap and smallcap indices ended the day in the red, indicating a lack of confidence in the market as a whole.
According to Ajit Mishra, SVP of Research at Religare Broking Ltd., “the muted performance was driven by risk aversion amid global uncertainties and continued FII selling, which overshadowed domestic resilience.”
