The Nifty 50 index closed at 25,453.40, down 0.35%, due to weak global cues and continued concerns around US trade policies. Meanwhile, Bank Nifty declined by 0.80%, ending at 56,999.20. Sectors like metals, pharma, and auto gained, while realty remained under pressure.
As long as Nifty stays below 25,500, weak sentiment may persist.
Downside support levels to watch: 25,300 and 25,225
A close above 25,500 could lead to a bounce toward 25,600–25,670
