TLDR

📈 Market Recap: May 27, 2025

On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, Indian equity markets snapped their two-day winning streak, ending lower due to profit booking and weak global cues. The BSE Sensex declined by 625 points to close at 81,551.63, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 175 points to settle at 24,826.20. Investors booked profits following recent gains, particularly in the IT, auto, and FMCG sectors. Negative trends in Asian markets and lingering concerns over U.S. tariffs dampened sentiment further. Continued selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) also added to the pressure. Sector-wise, FMCG, IT, and auto stocks led the losses, with ITC falling nearly 2% and major IT players like Infosys and TCS down around 1%. However, PSU banks and realty stocks showed resilience, emerging as the day’s top gainers.
