A Oneindia Venture

The Indian stock market ended on a flat note on Monday as the investors continued their 'wait and watch' approach ahead of United States President Donald Trump's tariffs deadline. Nifty 50 ended marginally lower at 25,461.30 points, whereas Sensex closed at 83,442.5 points.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty opened on a quite note this Monday, as global uncertainties and ongoing US trade talks keep investor sentiment in check. GIFT Nifty trends suggest a muted start for Indian markets, with the index showing a slight uptick of 5.5 points or 0.02 percent. Nifty futures were seen trading near the 25,532 mark.

Market Recap: Domestic Indices End Higher, Global Sentiment Remains Weak

On Friday, Indian equity markets ended the trading session with modest gains, as investors continued to tread cautiously amid mixed global signals. The benchmark Nifty 50 index rose by 0.22%, settling at 25,461, while the BSE Sensex climbed 0.23%, closing the day at 83,432.

The upward movement was largely driven by selective buying in heavyweight stocks such as Bajaj Finance, Infosys, and ICICI Bank, which helped offset broader investor hesitation ahead of key global and domestic events.

Despite the gains, overall market sentiment remained subdued due to global headwinds. Major U.S. stock indices ended lower on Wednesday, weighed down by concerns over economic growth, interest rate direction, and upcoming data releases. The broad-based S&P 500 declined by 0.64%, closing at 5,650.38.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell more sharply, losing 0.74% to finish at 17,844.24, reflecting pressure on technology stocks. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped by 98.60 points, or 0.24%, to settle at 41,218.83. The negative close across Wall Street signaled risk aversion among global investors heading into the weekend.
