Stock Market highlights: Sensex slides 820 points to 78,675, Nifty settles 257 points lower at 23,883

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices: The benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty, which traded on a weak note on Tuesday, settled 1 per cent lower for the day. Sensex closed at 78,675.18, lower by 820.97 points or 1.03 per cent, and Nifty 50 ended at 23,883.45, down by 257.85 points or 1.07 per cent. Barring the Nifty IT and Realty indices, all the sectoral indices are in red and led by bank stocks. As the Q2 earnings season concludes, analysts anticipate fund flows influencing market direction amid ongoing volatility. Gaurav Garg of Lemonn Markets Desk suggests that traders adopt hedged strategies focusing on selective stocks. Large-cap stocks are expected to perform relatively better as valuation pressures mount on the broader market. DSP Mutual Fund highlighted that mid-cap and small-cap indices have reached peak valuations, while large-cap stocks show signs of outperformance. Continued foreign portfolio outflows add to market volatility, but Pantomath Group’s ‘Market Kaleidoscope’ report points to India’s infrastructure push and rising private investment as economic stabilisers. Globally, Asian markets opened mixed, with gains in China and Japan offset by weaker Taiwanese and Korean indices.
