Stock market today: Nifty 50, Sensex end flat after hitting fresh record highs

After opening higher, the Sensex and the Nifty 50 hit their fresh all-time highs of 76,009.68 and 23,110.80, respectively, during the session. Both indices, however, failed to hold gains, and profit booking at higher levels resulted in mild losses.

Sensex closed the day 20 points, or 0.03 per cent, lower at 75,390.50, while the Nifty 50 ended 25 points, or 0.11 per cent, down at 22,932.45.

Heavyweight stocks, such as Reliance Industries, ITC, and Mahindra, ended as the top drags on the Nifty 50. On the other hand, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, and Larsen & Toubro provided the strongest support to the index. 29 stocks ended in the green in the Nifty 50 index.

Mid and smallcaps outperformed the benchmarks. The Nifty Midcap 100 index rose 0.64 per cent, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 index jumped 0.81 per cent.
