Stock Market Today | Closing Bell: Indian equities sort of wrapped up a pretty rough session on June 3 with a strong rebound off the intraday lows, the Nifty climbing back above 23,400 again, while the Sensex finished lower by around 330 points. There were sharp swings all day, but later on buyers showed up and, in a way, capped the damage, pretty much.

IT stocks kept being the main drag, with TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro posting the biggest fall. Meanwhile on the upside, names like Apollo Hospitals, Max Healthcare, Trent, SBI, and ICICI Bank offered some backing, and that helped sentiment breathe a bit. If you look at sectors, IT dropped 5%, FMCG slipped 1% and realty was down roughly 1% too, consumer durables eased 0.8%, but telecom climbed 2% and PSU banks added about 1.8%. So overall it really felt like a “dip and recover” day, markets poked at nerves, yet ended with a bit of selective resilience, rather than a full-on collapse.

Stock Market Closing Today @3:30 Pm

  • Sensex: 74,326.66 down with 323.19 (0.43%)
  • Nifty: 23,405.60 down with 77.95 (0.33%)

Markets ended lower today, with Sensex falling 323 points and Nifty slipping below 23,500. Broader sentiment stayed cautious as investors booked profits amid sectoral weakness and volatile trading conditions.

    Stock Market Opening Today 

    On June 3, Indian markets started on a weaker note, and the Nifty kind of slipped below 23,450 despite positive signals from global markets, so the overall mood at home remained careful. The Sensex dipped by 586.65 points, down 0.79% to 74,063.19, while the Nifty shed 166.40 points (0.71%) to 23,317.15. Even the market breadth looked a touch negative, as 1,062 stocks moved higher against 1,163 that declined, with 150 staying flat.

    In terms of losers, the IT biggies,TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, and Tech Mahindra,were right up there, pulling the indices down, and yes, Eternal was also among the drag. Still, there were bits of support too, with Bharti Airtel, Adani Ports, Apollo Hospitals, ONGC, and Coal India helping cushion the fall. Overall, it felt like a slow beginning with selective strength, where a handful of sectors held their ground, but the wider sentiment stayed cautious and a bit restrained.
