Sensex, Nifty today at close: At the closing bell, Indian benchmark indices ended sharply lower, with the Sensex declining 508.40 points, or 0.68%, to settle at 74,267.34, while the Nifty fell 165.15 points, or 0.70%, to close at 23,382.60.

“Recent U.S. strikes and the escalation in cross-border hostilities between Israel and Lebanon have exerted selling pressure on equity markets, reflecting heightened geopolitical uncertainty and a shift towards risk-off sentiment. However, as the conflict has now entered its fourth month, participants are increasingly anticipating a potential diplomatic progress in the near term. On the domestic front, the resumption of India–U.S. trade negotiations, with a focus on an interim trade agreement, could act as a supportive trigger for market sentiment going forward,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments.

“The Nifty Mid and Smallcap underperformed, as investors moved towards relatively better-valued opportunities in large-cap equities, seeking stability amid global uncertainties. Looking ahead, upcoming RBI policy decisions and GDP data releases will be key domestic triggers to monitor for further direction,” added.
