Sensex, Nifty Slip Amid Geo-Political Tensions; Investors Lose ₹7 Lakh Crore in a Day
May 6, 2025: The Indian stock market closed lower on Tuesday, May 6, as investor sentiment remained jittery due to rising India-Pakistan tensions and cautious global cues. The benchmark BSE Sensex shed 156 points, or 0.19%, to close at 80,641, while the Nifty 50 declined by 82 points, or 0.33%, ending the session at 24,379.60.
Though the frontline indices saw moderate losses, broader market segments bore the brunt. The BSE Midcap index dropped 2.16%, and the Smallcap index fell sharply by 2.33%, leading to an erosion of nearly ₹7 lakh crore in investor wealth.
Market experts pointed out that profit booking in overheated mid and small-cap segments contributed significantly to the day’s losses. Traders also remained cautious ahead of major global data and central bank commentary.
