The Indian stock market ended Thursday’s session on a mixed note, with the Sensex slipping by 142 points to close lower, while the Nifty managed to end flat after a volatile day of trade.
Weakness in banking and IT counters weighed on the Sensex, while select gains in energy and FMCG stocks helped the Nifty hold steady. Broader indices showed resilience, reflecting balanced investor sentiment despite global uncertainties.
Analysts noted that profit‑booking ahead of key macroeconomic data releases and cautious global cues contributed to the subdued performance. Foreign institutional flows remained muted, adding to the pressure on frontline stocks.
Market watchers expect near‑term volatility to persist, with investors closely tracking crude oil trends, currency movements, and upcoming domestic economic indicators.
