📉 Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates

Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty opened lower on Friday, snapping a six-day winning streak driven by optimism around GST reform measures. The cautious mood in global markets comes ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s anticipated policy speech at the Jackson Hole symposium, which investors hope will offer clarity on future rate moves.

Out of the 16 major sectors, 12 traded in the red, with banks and FMCG stocks leading the decline. However, healthcare, pharma, and consumer durables showed relative strength.

Amid the overall weakness, media stocks outperformed, with Zee Ltd and Saregama spearheading the gains.
