Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty opens close to 25,150; United Spirits shares decline 6%

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty is entering mid-week trading in anticipation of gaining for the sixth day running, having gained over 600 points over the week gone by. The index did enter a range over the last two sessions, as global markets continued to await more clarity on the outcome of the US-China trade talks, even as officials from both countries continue to maintain a positive tone.

The Nifty Bank, which has been a key contributor to the index upside over the last few sessions, kept the gains in check as the index continued to see profit booking at elevated levels.

Even as the index consolidates, there is enough stock-specific activity to keep market participants busy. A potential delay in launching a key electric vehicle model would keep India’s largest passenger car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, in focus, while stocks like United Spirits and Radico Khaitan would be in the spotlight after the liquor tax hike in Maharashtra.

Block deals continue at their usual pace, as has been the trend over the last few sessions, and today’s session will see deals taking place in Aditya Birla Capital and Marksans Pharma. Watch this space for all the live updates.
