After rising for six consecutive trading days, the Indian stock market fell.

After six consecutive trading days of gains, the major stock indices in India opened lower on Tuesday. Key US economic data has not been released yet, and these data will provide clues as to whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month, causing investors to adopt a cautious attitude. The National Stock Exchange of India's Nifty 50 index fell by 0.25%, to 25,951.55 points; while the Sensitive Index of the Mumbai Stock Exchange fell by 0.23%, to 84,758.64 points. All 16 major industry sectors recorded declines. The broader small-cap and mid-cap indices fell by 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively. In the previous six trading days, the major stock indices in India had accumulated gains of around 2%, supported by factors such as no major disappointments in corporate earnings reports, strong inflow of domestic funds, and the end of the US government shutdown. Currently, the index is still about 1.3% below its historical peak set in September 2024. The overnight Wall Street stock market declined; meanwhile, ahead of the release of key US economic data, including September nonfarm payrolls, market expectations for a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve have gradually cooled, leading to a 1.6% decline in Asian markets.
