Indian Stock Market Ends Week Lower; Gift Nifty Signals Gap-Up Opening

The Indian stock market ended the week with modest losses, as the Sensex fell 583 points to 76,913.50 and the Nifty 50 dropped 180 points to 23,997.55 amid broad-based selling across sectors like metals, realty, and FMCG. However, the Gift Nifty index signals a gap-up opening near 24,270, reflecting improving global and Asian market sentiment. Analysts highlight event-driven momentum and identify select stocks, including Sona BLW, Reliance, and Godrej Properties, as key to watch for near-term market direction.
