The Indian stock market experienced a downturn at the opening on May 22, 2025, with both the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty starting in negative territory. This decline mirrors weak trends in global equities, fueled by concerns over U.S. fiscal policy and debt.
The BSE Sensex, comprising 30 shares, opened at 81,221.77, a decrease of 374.86 points or 0.46 percent. Similarly, the NSE Nifty, consisting of 50 shares, began at 24,672.90, down by 140.55 points or 0.57 percent.
This contrasts with the previous trading day, May 21, 2025, when the market opened with gains. However, negative global sentiment and concerns about rising Treasury yields have contributed to the current downturn. Market analysts suggest that recent gains had led to overbought conditions, and a period of stabilization is expected in the near future.
