Opening bell: Benchmark indices witness a moderate decline in early trade
Last Updated: 9th December 2022 - 10:46 am
Nifty is trading just above the 16,100 level, while oil and gas, metals, and energy stocks gain.
After opening positively on Wednesday, benchmark indices fell due to drag in the pharma, IT, and FMCG sectors. Concerns about inflation, increasing interest rates, and the potential of a global recession remain in the spotlight, as corporate profits also influence investor sentiment. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both finished higher on Tuesday in the United States, with major growth stocks recovering after the previous day's selloff as Treasury yields fell.
At 9:55 AM, the BSE Sensex slipped by 211 points and is trading at 54,153.24 levels. The BSE MidCap also moved higher on the other hand by 23 points and is trading at 22,266.36 levels. The BSE SmallCap has declined by 159 points and is trading at 25,875.73 levels. The stocks trading in green on the BSE Sensex are Bharti Airtel, Power Grid Corporation of India, Mahindra & Mahindra, ICICI Bank, and Kotak Bank.
The Nifty 50 index opened in red today falling by 65 points and is now trading at 16,174.45 levels. Bank Nifty similarly is dropped, up by only 24 points and is trading at 34,457.75 levels. The gainers on Nifty 50 are HDFC Life Insurance, UPL, Bharti Airtel, ONGC, and Power Grid Corporation of India.
