The Indian stock market closed lower again on Thursday, June 19, 2025. The Sensex ended the day in the red, while the Nifty slipped below the 24,800 mark. Infosys and SBI were among the biggest losers in the market.
At closing, the Sensex dropped by around 34 points to 81,410.83. The Nifty 50 index fell by 11 points, settling near 24,801.6.
Mid-cap and small-cap stocks faced significant pressure, with the Nifty MidCap index down over 1% and the SmallCap index nearly 2% lower.
Key sectors such as PSU Banks, Realty, Metal, and IT declined by more than 1%, while the Auto sector was a bright spot, gaining about 0.5%.
Several major stocks showed mixed performance. Mahindra & Mahindra, Titan, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Maruti, and Bharti Airtel gained ground.
On the downside, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, IndusInd Bank, Tech Mahindra, Tata Steel, and HCL Tech saw losses. Infosys and SBI also slipped, contributing to the negative sentiment.
The market’s cautious mood was influenced by global and domestic factors. The U.S. Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady but warned of higher inflation, slower growth, and rising unemployment.
This outlook weighed on global markets, including Wall Street. Additionally, ongoing geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, along with high crude oil prices, dampened investor confidence in India.
The Nifty has declined in four of the last five trading sessions, showing volatility ahead of the weekly options expiry. Despite the declines, the index is holding important support levels near 24,700, while resistance remains strong around 25,000.
Overall, the market remains sensitive to global economic signals and geopolitical risks, which continue to influence trading patterns.
