Stock Market Update

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 ended marginally lower on Wednesday, May 27, marking their second straight session of losses. The Sensex declined 142 points, or 0.19%, to close at 75,867.80, while the Nifty 50 slipped 7 points, or 0.03%, to settle at 23,907.15. In contrast, the BSE 150 Midcap index advanced 0.83% and the BSE 250 Smallcap index gained 0.49%.
