Stock Market Today
The Indian benchmark indices, after a strong rally in early trade, ended on a flat note on Thursday, as losses in Reliance Industries and IT stocks weighed.
While the Goods and Services Taxes (GST) Council approved a shift to a two-rate structure from the existing four and cut levies on everyday items, boosting auto and FMCG stocks, concerns around US tariffs lingered.
The NSE Nifty 50 ended 0.08% higher at 24,734, and the BSE Sensex gained 0.19% to 80,718.01. In early trade, both indices had jumped 1.1%.
“In-line outcome of GST rationalisation and ongoing tariff threats from the US exerted a negative impact on the market today. Given that the US is India’s largest export destination, accounting for 2.2% of the GDP, the repercussions are inevitable. Companies are exploring ways to maintain exports to their existing clients through strategies like cross-country billing and setting up manufacturing units abroad. However, exports are expected to slow down and hinder new growth opportunities,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited.
On the brighter side, the GST rate cut is expected to significantly boost domestic consumption demand, countering the adverse effects of diminished export competitiveness, he added.
