Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: After opening on a positive note, Indian key stock market indexes plunged in the red in Thursday’s trading day, following a surge in global stocks due to lower-than-anticipated U.S. consumer inflation figures, which led to speculation of at least two interest rate reductions in 2024.

Market View: Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial


The underperformance of the Indian market during the last one month is striking. While the S&P 500 is up by 5.08% and Euro Stoxx 50 is up by 3.74%, Nifty is almost flat with only 0.24% gain. More important is the huge outperformance of Chinese stocks with a stunning gain of 17.38% in Hang Seng. It is this outperformance of China that is causing the sustained selling by FIIs in India.
