Stock Market Today: The Indian stock market ended flat on Friday as Sensex and Nifty 50 gave up early gains due to profit booking. Concerns over US President Donald Trump’s new tariffs, foreign capital outflows, and global uncertainty kept investor sentiment cautious despite hopes of a US Fed rate cut.
At the close, the Sensex slipped 7 points to 80,710.76, while the Nifty 50 added 7 points to 24,741. The BSE Midcap index slipped 0.10%, while the Smallcap index edged higher by 0.09%.
Why Did Sensex and Nifty 50 End Flat Today?
The muted closing came largely on account of profit booking, with traders booking gains ahead of the weekend. Despite supportive global cues, fears over Trump’s tariff announcements weighed on markets.
Trump recently imposed secondary sanctions on India for purchasing Russian oil, while hinting at further steps under “phase two” and “phase three.” Market experts said sentiment was mildly positive as indices rebounded from intraday lows, with strong mid- and small-cap participation.
