On January 19th, Indian equity markets faced downward pressure, with both the Sensex and Nifty closing in the negative.
At the close of trading, the Sensex fell by 324.17 points, or 0.39%, finishing at 83,246.18. The Nifty also saw a decline, dropping 108.85 points, or 0.42%, to settle at 25,585.50.
Market sentiment was further impacted ahead of key third-quarter financial year 26 IT earnings, which are scheduled for release on Monday. Investors largely stayed on the sidelines in anticipation of these results.
Adding to the uncertainty, global attention remains focused on an upcoming verdict by the US Supreme Court regarding the legality of former President Donald Trump’s tariff measures. The court is expected to rule on the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, which was invoked to impose broad global tariffs, including a 10 percent base levy and higher reciprocal duties on major trading partners.
At the close of trade, the Sensex declined by 604.72 points, or 0.72 percent, to settle at 83,576.24.
The Nifty fell 193.55 points, or 0.75 percent, to end the session at 25,683.30.
The broader markets underperformed the benchmark indices.
The midcap index slipped 0.79 percent, while the small-cap index recorded a sharper decline of 1.81 percent.
