The S&P BSE Sensex erased early morning gains and closed 303 points, or 0.56 percent, lower at 53,749 today(25 May 2022), putting an end to an extremely volatile session. The index swung 695 points during the day. On the NSE, the Nifty50 shut shop at 16,026, falling 99 points or 0.62 percent.

On the upside, NTPC, HDFC Life, SBI Life, Kotak Bank, Airtel, HDFC, Britannia Industries, and ONGC lent some support as their shares rose in the range of 1 to 4 per cent.
The broader markets, meanwhile, bled more with the BSE SmallCap index sliding nearly 3 per cent, and the BSE MidCap index falling close to 2 per cent.
Sector-wise, the Nifty IT index tumbled 3 per cent with individual stocks cracking up to 7 per cent after global brokerage Nomura downgraded the sector due to expected slowdown ahead. Besides, the Nifty Realty index fell 2.7 per cent, the Nifty Metal 1.7 per cent; and the Nifty Auto 0.9 per cent.
Global markets:European stocks moved higher on Wednesday with the pan-European Stoxx 600 adding 0.6 per cent in early trade. On Wall Street, futures linked to main indices were flat with a negative bias.
