Stock Market today

The Indian stock market extended its losing streak for the fourth straight session on Friday, pressured by weak global sentiment. Benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, ended around 0.5 percent lower on February 21, as selling intensified across auto, pharmaceutical, financial, and FMCG stocks.

Market sentiment remained under pressure due to multiple factors, including global geopolitical uncertainties, signs of slowing domestic economic growth, elevated valuations, and weaker-than-expected corporate earnings. Adding to the volatility, concerns over potential tariff hikes by US President Donald Trump on imports further weighed on global financial markets.

At the close, the Sensex slipped 424.90 points to 75,311.06, while the Nifty 50 lost 149.20 points to settle at 22,763.95. The broader markets have now witnessed losses in 12 of the past 13 sessions.

“The domestic market continued to exhibit broad-based weakness, primarily influenced by investor concerns over the hawkish tone of the FOMC minutes, which signalled prolonged higher interest rates that could constrain liquidity in EMs. Although the market has undergone a healthy correction, the uncertainties surrounding the gradual recovery of corporate earnings and ongoing tariff-related risks continue to cast doubt on valuation levels, particularly in the broader market. India is currently lagging behind its Asian peers, as FII outflows remain high, with the “sell India, buy China” strategy continuing to yield returns for the time being,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
