Mumbai – Indian equity markets concluded the trading day on Friday, 29 August 2025, with a notable downturn, extending their losing streak for the third straight session.
The broader market sentiment was significantly impacted by external pressures, primarily steep U.S. tariffs and persistent foreign fund outflows. This sustained selling pressure led to significant movements across major indices and individual scrips.
The Nifty 50 today, alongside the benchmark Sensex, reflected this bearish trend. The Sensex experienced a dip of 270.92 points, closing at 79,809.65, while the Nifty 50 today fell by 74.05 points, settling at 24,426.85.
