Stock Market Highlights 19 May 2025: Markets slide as IT stocks tumble after Moody’s downgrades US credit rating; Sensex down 271 points, Nifty ends below 24,945

Stock Market Highlights 19 May 2025: Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices: The benchmark BSE Sensex ended the day down by 271 points at 82,259, while the broader NSE Nifty 50 slipped 74 points to settle at 24,945. The decline was primarily driven by losses in information technology stocks, following a downgrade of the US government’s credit rating by Moody’s, which dented investor sentiment.

 NSE data showed that among the sectoral indices, Nifty IT and Nifty Media were the top losers, while Nifty PSU Bank, Nifty Realty, and Nifty Pharma were the top gainers. Among Sensex firms, Eternal, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, Reliance Industries, Asian Paints, HCL Tech and Adani Ports were the laggards. Power Grid, Bajaj Finance, NTPC, State Bank of India and IndusInd Bank were among the gainers. The Indian rupee rose 0.12% versus the US dollar to 85.40, hoisted by a weaker dollar, hurt by concerns over US debt and deficits following a Moody’s downgrade of the country’s sovereign credit rating late last week.
