Sensex-Nifty Closes Red: Today, on the last day of 2024, a lot of volatility was seen in the domestic market. The market remained in the red zone under the pressure of IT stocks, but on the strength of Pharma, PSU Bank and Oil & Gas stocks, the Sensex once recovered by more than 600 points from the intra-day low and reached the green zone. However, this recovery could not be sustained and it slipped. At the broader level, despite the equity benchmark index being in the red zone, overall investor wealth has increased due to good buying in small cap stocks.

At the end of the day, Sensex closed at 78,139.01 with a fall of 109.12 points or 0.14% and Nifty closed at 23,644.80 with a slip of 0.10 points.
