Closing Bell: Sensex Dips 378 Pts, Nifty Holds 20,900; RIL, Titan, Sun Pharma, IndusInd Top Losers

Indian market pulled back from their gaining spree with Sensex and Nifty 50 ending lower. Heavyweight stocks like Reliance Industries, Sun Pharma, IndusInd Bank, Titan, and Maruti Suzuki dragged the benchmarks.

Sensex ended at 69,551.03, down by 377.50 points or 0.54%, while Nifty 50 finished at 20,906.40 lower by 90.70 points or 0.43%.

The 50-scrip benchmark turned bearish after hitting a new lifetime high of 21,037.90.

Talking about the market performance, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said, "Following the recent impressive surge, the Nifty50 has undergone a consolidation phase today due to anticipated elevated November inflation in India, driven by rising food prices, which may potentially delay RBI policy cuts. In contrast, the US inflation outlook remains stable, which could influence the upcoming US Fed policy."

Nair added that the Nifty Mid and Small indices, with robust rallies of 42% and 49% on a YTD basis, now carry a 25% premium to their long-term averages, signalling potential valuation concerns. Though the domestic growth outlook remains strong, the risk of EL-Nino is expected to keep the market under pressure.

Traders will observe the India and US CPI inflation data scheduled later in the day. Also, focus is on US Federal Reserve meeting later this week.
