After a sharp rebound in the previous session, Indian equity benchmarks took a step back today, influenced by negative global sentiment. This triggered broad-based sectoral selling and a risk-off mood, leading to cautious investor behavior.
By the end of the session, the Sensex slipped by 379.93 points, or 0.51%, closing at 73,847.15. The Nifty 50 followed suit, dropping 136.70 points, or 0.61%, to end at 22,399.15.
Broader market indices also took a hit, with the BSE Midcap index falling by 0.8% and the Smallcap index declining by 1%. This reflects the overall cautious sentiment among investors across the board.
The market’s sectoral performance was largely in the red. Key sectors such as Realty, Information Technology, and Public Sector Banks led the decline, each shedding around 2%. This widespread unwinding of positions showcased that market participants were turning risk-averse.
On a positive note, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) stocks outperformed, rallying nearly 2%. This was supported by a dovish monetary policy and optimism around consumer demand. The Consumer Durables index also managed modest gains, rising by 0.3%.

In a significant policy move, the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) announced a 25 basis point rate cut, bringing the repo rate down to 6%. This move could have a far-reaching impact on the markets and investor sentiment.
