Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty closed lower on Tuesday (October 14, 2025) amid weak trends in Asian and European markets and fresh foreign fund outflows.
Reversing its early gains, the 30-share BSE Sensex closed 297.07 points or 0.36% lower at 82,029.98. During the day it fell 545.43 points or 0.66% to 81,781.62.
The 50-share NSE Nifty fell 81.85 points or 0.32% to 25,145.50.
Bajaj Finance, Bharat Electronics, Tata Steel, Tata Consultancy Services, NTPC, Trent, Asian Paints and Axis Bank were the major Sensex stocks.
However, Tech Mahindra, ICICI Bank, Power Grid, Hindustan Unilever and Reliance Industries were among the gainers.
“Equity markets witnessed broad-based profit-booking amid lack of fresh domestic triggers, as weak cues from Asian and European peers dampened investor sentiment. Renewed US-China trade tensions again raised risk appetite, leading to a shift towards safe-haven assets such as gold and US Treasury bonds, while equities came under pressure due to concerns over rising global trade uncertainty,” said Enrich Money’s CEO, Online Trading & Wealth, Ponmudi R. The tech firm said.
In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng closed with losses. European markets were trading with a decline.
American markets closed sharply on Monday.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude fell 1.82% to $62.17 a barrel.
According to exchange data, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equities worth ₹240.10 crore on Monday.
On Monday, the Sensex closed 173.77 points or 0.21% lower at 82,327.05, halting its two-day rally. Nifty fell 58 points or 0.23% to 25,227.35.
