Stock market today: Nifty50 goes below 24,600; BSE Sensex tanks over 500 points
Market experts anticipate continued positive momentum through June. (AI image) Stock market today: Nifty50 and BSE Sensex , the Indian equity benchmark indices, opened in red on Monday. While Nifty50 went below 24,600, BSE Sensex tanked over 500 points. At 9:16 AM, Nifty50 was trading at 24,587.10, down 164 points or 0.66%. BSE Sensex was at 80,879.49, down 572 points or 0.70%. Market experts anticipate continued positive momentum through June, supported by robust Q4 GDP data, potential RBI rate reductions and steady institutional capital flows. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, 'The market structure favours continuation of the ongoing consolidation phase. There are global headwinds like renewed tariff concerns that will restrain a breakout rally. At the same time there are domestic tailwinds that will support the market at lower levels. President Trump's 50% tariffs on steel and aluminium is a clear message that the tariff and trade scenario will continue to be uncertain and turbulent. This headwind will impact markets. On the domestic front the tailwinds are getting stronger with the latest Q4 GDP growth data coming at 7.4%, which is much better-than-expected.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'Trends in consumption expenditure and capital expenditure are promising. This along with low inflation and the expected continuation of the rate cutting policy provide the perfect setting for sustained economic growth in FY26.
