Ajouté : 2026-05-30

[00:00:01]All right, some news of the stock market now and Nifty and Sensex fell sharply at a 3:00 p.m. today after trading a range-bound the entire session. Nifty [music] fell as much as 1.62% to trade at 23,519 [music] while Sensex fell as much as 1.52%.

[00:00:20]Now, this is on the back of [music] the MSCI re-jig today. This is This has led to the sharp fall in the market, which is the periodic review and adjustment of global stock markets by the MSCI.

[00:00:32][music] That's the Morgan Stanley Capital International. And during these updates, MSCI adds [music] new companies, removes others, and this really has led to this sharp fall, especially after 3:00 [music] p.m. today. The Nifty falling more than 200 points. Tata Steel and Indigo are top losers in the Nifty, both [music] down over 3%. All sectoral indices are in the red barring Nifty IT.

[00:00:57][music] And Nifty Oil and Gas is the top losing sector, down over 2% today. So, a major impact on the market, which is being blamed on the MSCI re-jig [music] that has taken place. And that has led to this sharp fall in the market [music] with the Nifty down almost 1.5% falling more than 200 points in just 5 [music] minutes. As we said, Tata Steel and Indigo are top losers in Nifty, both down over 3%.

[00:01:31]So, let's take a look at some of the other reasons [music] that have caused this fall in the market and this negative sentiment. One is the MSCI adjustment, [music] which is impacting the markets. And the other is the weaker monsoon forecast by the IMD. [music] The IMD has again forecast weaker than usual monsoon. [music] And they've said that it will be 90% of its optimum amount of the monsoon. And remember that has a huge impact on what on what will be in store for [music] agriculture and this in turn has an impact on market sentiment as well. Another issue is [music] that the technical reversal and the four FII selling is likely. So that is what we're learning the causes for the [music] market going down. Trade's likely for NAV adjustments as well.

[00:02:22]>> [music] >> So today the markets Nifty and Sensex both fell sharply at around 3:00 p.m.

[00:02:28][music] That's just before they close for the weekend and this is after Nifty falling by [music] 1.62% to trade at 23,519.

[00:02:38]Sensex fell as much as 1.52% [music] to 74,711.

[00:02:45]Well, let's go across [music] to Puneet Javeri now for more and Puneet take us through the reasons for this sharp fall in the market.

[00:02:55]>> Well, thank you for that. Just as you rightly mentioned the last half an hour or so, we've seen that MSCI rebalancing happening and hence that impact that you've seen on the markets. A very sharp drop in the Sensex as well as for the Nifty 50 as you mentioned. Now, while the larger Nifty IT companies, the likes of Infosys and TCS all tried their best in terms of giving that impact on the market for the positive sides, you had all the other factors continuing to put pressure on the index and hence a day essentially to to forget for the Nifty 50. We're back again around that 23,500 mark and it hasn't been [music] any kind of support at this point of time. So when you come back on Monday morning, you will look at things to get back to that support level of 23,800.

[00:03:39]But as you rightly mentioned, consistent pressure on the index. You had stocks like Indigo which will come out with earnings today also being under pressure. And Eicher Motors, they were the top losers in that index today for the Nifty 50. [music] You also saw the broader markets also being under pressure today. So, the mid-cap 150 companies that we saw was also down about a percent and third and small-cap 250 also continued to be under an impact. What I'll be watching out for though, they were largely done with the earning season now. So, when you come back on Monday, there will be fresher factors to watch out for. Watch out for the geopolitical conversation that happened over the weekend between Israel, US, as well as Iran and hopefully some more respite and some better performance to go through for the month of June compared to a volatile May that it has been.
