Stock Market Today: Dalal Street was destined for a bad start as the GIFT Nifty on the NSE IX trading lower by 162.50 points, at 21,416.50. Benchmark equities indices fell again on Thursday, following the general downturn in mood around the world. The NSE Nifty dropped 150 points to 21,418 while the BSE Sensex dropped 400 points to 71,097. A cloudy China economic picture and expectations that the global rate-easing cycle may not begin as soon as some had predicted contributed to Asian equities’ sluggish opening on Thursday. With a clear breach below the 20-day moving average of 21,629, Nifty finished 460 points down and formed a red candle on the daily charts. Price and momentum indicators both suggest weakness.
