Today, both the Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex are taking a hit, continuing their streak of losses over the past few days, influenced by weak global signals and concerns in specific sectors.
As of 12:43 PM IST on Friday, September 26, 2025: The Nifty 50 is sitting at about 24,745.85, down 145.00 points, which is a drop of 0.58%.
Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex is around 80,780.91, having decreased by 378.77 points, or 0.47%.
Market sentiment is quite gloomy, mainly due to worries about a potential resurgence of a global trade war after the US President announced hefty tariffs on various imports, including a staggering 100% tariff on pharmaceuticals. This has triggered significant selling, especially in the IT and Pharma sectors. The downward trend aligns with declines observed in other Asian markets.
