Stock Market Today: Indian equity benchmark indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty50, saw a strong start in Thursday's opening trade. The BSE Sensex crossed the 74,000 mark, while the Nifty50 approached 22,450. At 10.00 am, The Sensex dropped by 108.17 points, or 0.15 per cent, to reach 73,622.06, while the Nifty fell by 25.05 points, or 0.11 per cent at 22,312.25. A total of 2,480 shares advanced, 731 shares declined, and 103 shares remained unchanged.

The Nifty index marked a notable recovery on Wednesday, ending its 10-day decline. This rebound was driven by positive performance in Asian markets and strategic buying at lower prices on Indian exchanges. Market experts suggest that the sustainability of this recovery will depend on developments related to US tariff policies and ongoing interest in domestic equities.

V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services noted, “We are in a highly uncertain and volatile situation for global trade, global economy and markets. The end game of Trump’s tariff policy is unclear. The dollar index declining to 104.3 is positive for emerging markets like India. If this trend persists the FII selling will soon stop paving the way for a market rally.RBI’s decision to infuse Rs 1.9 trillion liquidity into the banking system is good news for banks and NBFCs. The decline in Brent crude to below $70 is another macro positive for India which markets will discount positively."
