Stock market today: Indian equities witnessed a sharp selloff on Tuesday, 23 June, with broad-based weakness dragging the benchmark indices significantly lower.
The BSE Sensex tumbled 893.39 points, or 1.16%, to end the session at 76,200.68, while the NSE Nifty 50 declined 278.80 points, or 1.16%, to close at 23,824.10.
However, the market is likely to see muted opening as trends in the Gift Nifty index signalled a cautious undertone on Wednesday, 24 June. Gift Nifty was trading near the 23,874 mark, up over 21 points from the previous close of Nifty futures.
“Indian equity markets are expected to trade with a cautious undertone as improving sentiment stemming from progress in the US–Iran peace negotiations is being offset by weakness in global technology stocks and concerns over a more hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve. Investor sentiment remains mixed, with renewed pressure on global equities following a sharp sell-off in U.S. technology shares amid valuation concerns and uncertainty over future spending trends, while expectations of prolonged higher interest rates continue to weigh on risk appetite,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
As the market is pointing towards a positive start, some stocks are likely to remain in focus on Wednesday due to their own positive/negative triggers.
