Sensex posts modest early gains, steadies by afternoon amid banking stock sell‑off in Mumbai
The Sensex rose modestly in early trade on Thursday but was held steady by afternoon as banking shares faced selling pressure.
The Sensex recorded modest gains in early trade on Thursday, marking a positive start to the fourth trading day of the week in Mumbai's stock market.
However, by the afternoon session the index had steadied, with the upward momentum curbed by heightened selling pressure on banking stocks.
The mixed reaction reflects a cautious market sentiment, where gains in broader indices were offset by sector‑specific declines, particularly in the banking segment.
Analysts noted that while the overall market remained stable, the pressure on banking shares could influence future trading dynamics.
