Nifty, Sensex Snap Two-Day Winning Streak; Broader Markets Outperform
On Tuesday, May 27, Indian benchmark indices closed lower, snapping their two-day winning streak.
The Nifty 50 dropped by 0.7%, while the Sensex tanked over 600 points to end near the 81,550 mark. In line with the overall market sentiments, the Nifty Bank declined 219.20 points or 0.39% to end at 55,3512. However, the broader markets showed resilience by settling the day in positive.
On Tuesday, the total traded volume (in shares) of Nifty 50 constituents marked a single-day high since April 7, 2025. As of May 27, 2025, the trading volume stood at 52.56 crore shares — the highest in the past 31 trading sessions. The last time the index saw a higher volume was on April 7, 2025, when it recorded 64.71 crore shares.
The Indian rupee weakened on Tuesday, slipping to 85.33 against the U.S. dollar, a decline of 0.3% for the day. Regional currencies also lost ground as the U.S. dollar strengthened globally, and Asian equity markets saw a downturn. Traders cited month-end dollar demand from importers as an additional factor putting pressure on the rupee.
The Nifty FMCG index slipped by 0.88% on Tuesday, primarily due to a significant decline in ITC’s share price. Shares of ITC closed over 2% lower, dragging the Nifty FMCG index down.
