Sensex & Nifty Live Updates April 25: Nifty50 Slips Below 23,850, Closes Above 24,000

Stock Market Highlights, April 25:

Indian markets ended in the red on April 25, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex both correcting after a strong start to the week. Despite solid global cues and healthy FII inflows, volatility dominated domestic equities amid weak breadth and pressure on largecaps. 

• Nifty and Sensex Close Lower: The Nifty 50 fell 0.86% to end at 24,039, while the Sensex declined 0.74% to 79,212, snapping a two-day winning streak.
• Asian Markets Rally on US Momentum: Japan’s Nikkei jumped 1.9%, and the Hang Seng rose 0.32%, buoyed by overnight gains on Wall Street; however, Shanghai Composite stayed flat.
• European Markets Trade Firm: Mid-session updates show gains across the board, with DAX up 0.49%, FTSE 100 up 0.14%, and STOXX 50 rising 0.47%, signaling investor confidence.
• Rupee Under Pressure Against USD: The USD/INR pair rose 0.21% to 85.411 as a stronger Dollar Index (99.71, up 0.34%) weighed on the rupee, though it remained resilient against the euro, pound, and yen.
• Precious Metals Flat: Gold prices remained steady at ₹9,824 per gram (24K), while silver held firm at ₹100.90 per gram, reflecting subdued movement in the commodities segment.
