Indian stock market ended in the negative territory for the third consecutive session on Monday, July 28. Heavy FPI selling, weak earnings, and persisting concerns over India-US trade talks kept market sentiment low.
The Sensex closed at 80,891.02, down 572 points, or 0.70 per cent, while the Nifty 50 settled at 24,680.90, down 156 points, or 0.63 per cent.
The BSE Midcap index also fell by 0.73 per cent, while the Smallcap index plunged by 1.31 per cent.
Investors lost nearly ₹ 4 lakh crore in a single session as the overall market capitalisation of firms listed on the BSE dropped to about ₹ 448 lakh crore from ₹ 451.7 lakh crore in the previous session.
The last three sessions of selloff have dragged the Sensex by 1,836 points, or 2.2 per cent, while the Nifty 50 has fallen 2.1 per cent. Investors have lost over ₹ 12 lakh crore in just three days.
Persisting headwinds, in terms of delayed India-US trade deal, weak q1 earnings and sustained foreign capital outflow keep the market down. The domestic market has no fresh positive triggers to sustain gains.
"Domestic market sentiment has remained cautious, weighed down by a disappointing set of Q1 earnings, delays in the India-US trade agreement, and continued FII outflows," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, noted.
"The upcoming monetary policy decisions from the US Fed and BoJ (Bank of Japan), along with the trajectory of domestic quarterly earnings, are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping market direction in the near term," Nair added.
