India’s benchmark stock indices ended lower for the fifth session in a row, extending the recent losing streak in domestic equities. The Sensex closed down 331 points, while the Nifty slipped 102 points, reflecting continued caution across the market.
Selling pressure in auto and metal shares played a major role in dragging the benchmarks lower. Those losses outweighed support from IT stocks, which offered some resilience but were not enough to reverse the broader weakness.
Investor sentiment remained under pressure from global concerns, especially uncertainty around US tariffs and tensions in West Asia. Those factors appeared to keep traders risk-averse, with external cues overshadowing stock-specific gains in parts of the market.
The session highlighted a market mood that remains fragile despite selective strength in technology names. With benchmarks now down for five straight days, attention is likely to stay focused on global developments and sector rotation within Indian equities.
