Sensex drops 170 points, Nifty falls 48 amid volatile weekly expiry
Jul 03, 2025Indian equity markets ended Thursday’s trading session on a weak note, with both benchmark indices slipping into negative territory during the final hour of trade. The volatility was largely attributed to the expiry of weekly derivatives contracts.
The BSE Sensex declined by 170 points to close at 83,239, while the NSE Nifty-50 fell 48 points, ending the day at 25,405. The indices had opened on a positive note but failed to sustain the momentum amid profit-booking and nervousness ahead of upcoming economic data.
Market participants cited heightened volatility as a key feature of the session, typical of derivative expiry days. Despite weakness in frontline indices, performance across broader markets was mixed. The BSE Mid-Cap index ended flat, showing little change, while the BSE Small-Cap index outperformed with a gain of nearly 0.5%.
Investors remained cautious amid global market uncertainties and awaited further domestic economic cues to gauge the market direction in the coming sessions.
