Sensex and Nifty End Flat Amid Market Volatilit

Keywords: Sensex, Nifty, stock market, market trends, volatility, Indian stocks

The Indian equity markets experienced a rollercoaster trading session today, marked by significant volatility but ended on a flat note. The benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, moved in a narrow range towards the latter part of the day, reflecting the cautious sentiment among investors amid global uncertainties.

The Sensex hovered around the 65,000 mark, closing marginally in the red, while the Nifty settled just below the 19,400 level. Both indices showed spikes during mid-trading hours, driven by gains in sectors such as FMCG and IT, but the momentum failed to sustain as profit-booking emerged in banking and energy stocks.

On the sectoral front, the Nifty IT index gained over 0.8%, led by robust performances from major tech players. However, financial stocks weighed down the indices, with the Nifty Bank index shedding close to 0.5%.

Market participants attributed the lackluster movement to mixed cues from global markets and concerns over potential interest rate hikes by central banks worldwide. Investors are also keeping a close watch on quarterly corporate earnings, which are expected to set the tone for the near-term direction of the market.

Analysts remain optimistic about the medium- to long-term outlook, citing strong domestic macroeconomic indicators and easing inflationary pressures. However, the near-term market sentiment is likely to be dictated by global economic developments and FII activity.
