For the first time since 2017, India’s benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty closed the pre‑market (muhurat) session in the negative territory, signaling a shift in market sentiment.
The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty ended the pre‑market trading session in the red for the first time since 2017, marking a notable shift in the Indian equity markets.
Muhurat trading, which opens at 9:15 a.m. IST, allows investors to place orders before the main session begins. The indices closed lower in this session, reflecting a cautious stance among traders ahead of the regular trading hours.
Market analysts note that the decline follows a series of global market jitters and domestic concerns, prompting investors to adopt a wait‑and‑see approach. The negative close may influence the opening of the main session, potentially setting a bearish tone for the day.
While the exact magnitude of the decline was not disclosed, the red finish underscores heightened volatility and a shift from the steady gains that had characterized the indices in recent years.
Investors and market watchers will be watching closely as the main session opens, to see whether the pre‑market dip translates into a broader market downturn.
