Stock market today: 73 stocks hit 52-week highs, 79 stocks at 52-week low as Nifty 50, Sensex end lower
In contrast, 79 stocks touched 52-week lows, with notable mentions like Easy Trip Planners Ltd, Vodafone Idea Ltd, Protean eGov Technologies Ltd, Ola Electric Mobility Ltd, Music Broadcast Ltd, Spicejet Ltd, and Schloss Bangalore Ltd.
India's stock market indicators saw little movement on Thursday, while the broader markets experienced a downturn, as investors remained wary due to rising tensions in the Middle East and signals of a strict monetary policy from the US.
The Nifty 50 decreased by 0.08% to settle at 24,793.25, while the BSE Sensex dropped by 0.1% to reach 81,361.87.
Vinod Nair, the Head of Research at Geojit Investments, noted that the Indian equity index exhibited a rangebound trend with a negative inclination, as global caution increased due to worries about potential US involvement in the Middle East conflict.
Nair highlighted that the mood among investors was further impacted by the Federal Reserve's choice to maintain interest rates while indicating ongoing inflation and a slowdown in economic growth, which adversely affected software export stocks.
The overall market performance fell short of the benchmark index, primarily due to selling pressure in mid- and small-cap stocks, whereas larger-cap growth stocks demonstrated greater stability, all while closely monitoring crude oil prices and international developments, according to Vinod.
According to Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, the Nifty 50 witnessed a lackluster expiry on the NSE, as the index remained within a narrow range throughout the session, indicating indecisiveness ahead of any directional move.
On the hourly chart, the index continues to trade below the 200-DMA, reflecting weak market sentiment. On the daily chart, it has slipped below the 21-EMA, further reinforcing the bearish outlook. This negative sentiment is likely to persist as long as the index remains below 24,850. On the downside, support is seen at 24,550.

Russia Humiliates Trump With 5% Oil Discount To India Amid Fierce Sanctions Battle And Tariff War Russia has openly taunted the United States by announcing it grants India a 5% discount on crude oil imports, just as Donald Trump's administration announced sweeping tariffs on New Delhi. Moscow's deputy envoy Roman Babushkin hit back at Washington, declaring that US sanctions were 'unjustified and unilateral,' and promising that Russia's market would embrace Indian exports if America blocks them. This bold move comes as India resumes Russian oil purchases after discounts widened, reigniting Washington's anger. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lashed out, accusing India of 'profiteering' and undermining sanctions by reselling Russian crude. But Moscow insists India's growing oil demand makes the partnership 'perfectly complementary.' In the face of Western pressure, Russia has positioned itself as India's most reliable energy partner, transforming sanctions into opportunity, and delivering a clear message that Washington cannot dictate India's choices. 98.7K views | 16 hours ago

Tamil Nadu farmers' body seeks Rs 30,000 per acre subsidy as cotton prices set to fall after import duty waiver
COIMBATORE: The union government should provide cotton farmers production subsidy as crop prices are set to drop with the temporary removal of 11% import duty on the fibre crop, demanded a state farmers' organisation. The selling price of cotton is likely to fall by up to Rs 2,000 per quintal as the central government has now removed the import duty, cotton farmers stated. The price drop could result in an average loss of Rs 30,000 per acre for farmers. The lack of government cotton procurement in Tamil Nadu has adversely affected farmers, they added. "With the US imposing a 50% tariff on Indian goods, the union government has now waived the 11% import duty on cotton till September 30 to protect Indian textile manufacturers and provide them with relief. This is likely to be extended indefinitely," said Esan Murugasamy, founder of Tamilaga Vivasayigal Pathukappu Sangam. "To compensate for the loss to farmers due to the government's import duty waiver, the central government should provide Rs 30,000 per acre as production subsidy and save the farmers," he demanded. He also cited the low Minimum Support Price for the cash crop in Tamil Nadu.
