- Nifty 25,940 [+1.35] 0.01
- Sensex 84,914 [-14.57] 0.02
Stock Market Today: On September 24, 2024, the Sensex closed at 84,914, down 0.02%, while the Nifty ended at 25,940, up 0.01%. Gains in metal and power stocks helped lift the indices, while over 300 stocks hit 52-week highs. However, profit booking in the FMCG and banking sectors capped broader market momentum.
Reasons for Sideways Market
- Investors booked profits after the market hit new peaks, with the Sensex and Nifty crossing 85,000 and 26,000, respectively. The high valuations led to fluctuations in the market and prevented further gains.
- Gains in metal, oil & gas, and power sectors were offset by declines in FMCG, PSU banks, and telecom stocks, contributing to the flat market close.
- Investor sentiment remained mixed, as concerns about the upcoming RBI monetary policy and high valuations kept participants cautious, limiting further upside momentum.
