18 November, 2025
Stock Markets: The rocket-like momentum of six consecutive days in the stock market has finally stopped. On Tuesday, investors adopted the stance of profit booking, which had a direct impact on the market. Selling increased in IT, metal and capital goods stocks and weak trend in the global market further worsened the atmosphere. The Sensex closed at 84,673.02 with a fall of 278 points, whereas in the day’s trading it fell by 392 points to reach the level of 84,558.36.
decline in these shares
Nifty also fell by 103 points and closed at 25,910.05, i.e. below the level of 26,000. At the same time, among the big companies of Sensex, the shares of Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, Adani Ports, Hindustan Unilever and BEL were under the most pressure. The weakness of IT and metal sectors caused the most damage to the index.

Who controlled the market?
However, big companies like Bharti Airtel, Axis Bank, Asian Paints and Titan showed some strength, due to which the decline was balanced to some extent. Now the question arises that why was there such a decline in the stock market today? Regarding this, Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said that after the recent rally, investors booked profits. Apart from this, the external market is also weakening and its effect is also visible on the Indian stock market. On the other hand, expectations of rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in December seem to be decreasing, due to which the pressure on IT, metal and realty stocks has increased.
red flag market
In Asian markets, Kospi, Nikkei 225, Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng all indices closed in the red. Apart from this, a weak trend was also seen in the European markets. American markets closed in the negative zone on Monday, which also affected the Indian market. According to exchange data, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought Rs 442.17 crore on Monday. At the same time, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) have also bought shares worth Rs 1,465.86 crore.
crude oil price
Brent crude fell 0.40 percent to $ 63.94 per barrel, indicating softness in the power sector. The special thing is that on Monday, the Sensex had risen for the sixth consecutive day and closed at 84,950.95 with a gain of 388 points. Nifty had also reached above 26,013.45. However, slight profit booking on Tuesday brought the entire momentum to a halt. Today’s trading is giving a clear message that rising waves often take a breath at one point and so does the market!
