Kolkata: Both BSE Sensex 30 and NSE Nifty 50 opened in the green on Monday, March 3. Just a few mintues after trading began, Sensex stood at 73,568.46 points, up 370.36 points or 0.51%, while Nifty stood at 22,238.30 points, up 113.60 points or 0.51%.
On Friday, February 28, 2025, the Indian stock market suffered a bloodbath with Sensex diving 1,414.33 points (or 1.90%) and ending the day at 73,198.10 points, while Nifty shedding 420.35 points (or 1.86%) to end the trading session at 22,124.70 points. Under pressure from continuous FII selling of Indian stocks, a consistently declining rupee against the US Dollar and now an apprehension of the negative impact of US president Donald Trump’s tariff policies on Indian businesses, the indices have made losses for five consecutive months, said reports and labelled it as the longest losing streak in 29 years.
Early gainers
According to early data, the early gainers were COFFEEDAY, EMAMIPAP, RANASUG, NITIRAJ, RUBYMILLS etc. Reports stated that FIIs have sold Indian stocks worth Rs 34,574 crore in February that took the total outflows in 2025 to Rs 1.12 lakh crore. The show in February came after a net outflow of Rs 78,027 crore in the month of January. The selling by FPIs depressed Sensex by more than 6% year-to-date (till February 28).
At the end of February’s trade market analysts told the media that the Indian equity market will be largely impacted by US tariff related developments, trading patterns of FIIS and global trends. If FII pullout and tariff apprehenskions persist, the volatility could remain in the market.
After the bloodbath in the market on Friday (February 28), when the Sensex diving 1,414.33 points (or 1.90%) and Nifty shed 420.35 points (or 1.86%), both the broad indices opened in the green on Monday, March 3.
