Markets slip as Nifty50 dips below 25,450; Sensex down 100+ points
Indian equities open lower with Nifty50 below 25,450 and the Sensex down over 100 points, signaling cautious sentiment at the start of the week.
Indian equity benchmarks opened in the red on Monday as last week’s selling pressure lingered. The Nifty50 slid below 25,450 in early trade, while the BSE Sensex was down more than 100 points, underscoring a cautious start for traders. Traders cited mixed global cues and lingering risk-off sentiment as the primary drag on index footing.
Markets remained choppy as investors weighed global developments against domestic indicators, with volatility seen in several sectors. Some pockets showed resilience, but the breadth of weakness suggested that traders prefer to stay selective until clearer directional cues emerge.
Analysts expect the session to stay range-bound for the time being, with traders watching for key technical levels around the 25,400–25,600 zone on the Nifty and a similar pivot for the Sensex. Corporate earnings and macro data in the days ahead could shape the trajectory, but for now the mood remains cautious as the week begins.
Market watchers advise investors to focus on risk management, maintain a balanced portfolio, and avoid overleveraged bets as volatility persists. A cautious tone persists until there is a clearer headline or earnings-driven catalyst to steer momentum.
