Sensex Nifty Drop Despite Early Gains

Anil Vanna — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 12:33:03 +0000

Indian stock markets ended lower on Tuesday after a weak second-half session dragged indices down. Renewed selling in IT and metal stocks erased early gains, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. The Sensex slipped 519 points, or 0.62%, closing at 83,459, while the Nifty fell 165 points, or 0.64%, to 25,597.

Analysts said momentum indicators turned negative, suggesting short-term weakness may continue. The Nifty slipped below the key 25,600 level, and support is seen around 25,500. A strong move above 25,800 could signal recovery, but traders remain wary ahead of the holiday-shortened week.

Among Sensex constituents, Power Grid, Tata Motors, Tata Steel, and Maruti Suzuki led the declines. Titan, Bharti Airtel, and SBI managed to post modest gains. Broader indices also followed the downward trend, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and SmallCap 100 falling 0.42% and 0.82%, respectively.

Sectorally, metal, auto, and IT indices were the worst performers, while Nifty Consumer Durables was the only one in the green. Experts attributed the decline to weak global cues and profit-booking in heavyweight stocks, which weighed on overall market sentiment.

Experts said IT largecaps remain overvalued due to structural challenges, while PSU stocks corrected valuation anomalies. Growth stocks in digital and renewable energy sectors continue to attract investment. Analysts anticipate a mild rally with Muhurat trading approaching.

Indian stock markets opened higher on Tuesday, driven by positive global cues and gains in auto, IT, and financial sectors. Sensex was up 122 points at 82,282.10, while Nifty rose 35 points to 25,238.20 in early trade.

Nifty Bank declined slightly by 26 points to 55,258.45, while Nifty Midcap 100 slipped 12 points to 58,686.55. The Nifty Smallcap 100 index gained 4 points to reach 18,293.15. Experts said near-term Nifty trends will depend on support between 25,200 and 25,000 levels.

Top Sensex gainers included Maruti Suzuki, M&M, Tata Motors, Infosys, HDFC Bank, Tech Mahindra, and Axis Bank. Ultratech Cement, Sun Pharma, Trent, and Asian Paints were the main losers. Asian markets mostly traded higher, except Hong Kong and China.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers, offloading equities worth Rs 2,910 crore on September 22. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) purchased Rs 2,583 crore. Analysts said FII selling since 2024 has impacted markets due to high Indian valuations compared to global opportunities.
