Mumbai: The Indian stock market witnessed a subdued start on September 24, 2025, with the Nifty 50 and broader indices declining sharply in early trade. Selling pressure was pronounced across financial and banking stocks, reflecting investors’ increasing caution amid heightened volatility.
Nifty 50 and Major Indices Slide
The Nifty 50 index opened at 25,108.75 and quickly slipped to 25,074.00, down 95.50 points or 0.38%. Trading remained volatile, with the day’s high at 25,149.85 and a low of 25,049.45. Major sectoral indices followed suit: Nifty Next 50 lost 339.90 points (-0.49%), Nifty Fin Service tumbled 198.50 points (-0.75%), and Nifty Bank dropped 319.80 points (-0.58%), signaling broad-based weakness in key sectors.
Heavyweights Lead the Downturn
Banking and financial heavyweights bore the brunt of the selloff, contributing significantly to the negative sentiment on Dalal Street. The persistent decline in these segments, fueled by concerns about global macroeconomic headwinds and rising bond yields, spurred risk-off moves among market participants.
Technical Picture and Market Outlook
The Nifty 50 slipping below its psychological levels early in the session, coupled with sectoral underperformance, points toward near-term bearishness. Technical analysts note support at 25,050 and expect further pressure unless fresh buying emerges at lower levels. Traders and investors are advised to remain cautious and monitor developments in global and domestic markets closely to detect signs of a potential trend reversal.
Conclusion: September 24, 2025 (Opening)
The Indian equity market opened on a weak note, steered by intense selling in financial and banking sectors. With the Nifty 50 and key benchmarks under pressure, the session could remain volatile unless sentiment improves. Market watchers are likely to focus on global economic signals and institutional activity for near-term direction.
