Sensex dips 153 points as profit-taking trims gains
On October 8, 2025, BSE Sensex fell 153 points (0.19%) to 81,774, while NSE Nifty dropped 62 points to 25,046, as profit-taking followed a recent rally. Realty, Auto, Media, and Energy sectors underperformed, offset by a 1.5% rise in IT stocks led by Infosys, TCS, and HCL Tech. Market sentiment remained cautious ahead of Q2 earnings and amid mixed global cues, with investors balancing sectoral gains against broader profit-booking in India's equity markets.
