On Thursday, the BSE Sensex surged more than 700 points, while the Nifty50 moved above the 25,850 mark, reflecting improved investor sentiment in early trade.

IT stocks led the gains after upbeat quarterly earnings and guidance from Infosys, which sparked a rally across the sector. Shares of Wipro also traded higher, while buying interest was seen in metal and PSU stocks, with Hindalco and NTPC among the notable gainers. Banking and financial stocks provided additional support to the broader market.

In contrast, healthcare stocks underperformed. Cipla and Apollo Hospitals Enterprise were among the top losers, facing selling pressure amid stock-specific concerns. Some defensive stocks also lagged the broader market trend.

Overall market breadth remained positive, with advances outnumbering declines on the BSE. Analysts said the rally was driven by earnings optimism, steady foreign fund inflows, and expectations of policy continuity, though they cautioned that volatility could persist as investors track global developments and upcoming corporate results.

Indian stock markets opened on a weak note on Wednesday, where the BSE Sensex fell over 100 points in early trade, while the Nifty50 slipped below the 25,700 level. Signals from GIFT Nifty had already suggested a muted start for the domestic markets.

Global markets provided limited support, with Asian stocks trading mixed to weak. This, along with continued selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs), kept pressure on Indian equities. However, buying by domestic institutional investors (DIIs) helped prevent a sharper decline.

Among key stocks, Infosys traded lower as investors remained cautious ahead of its quarterly results. Shares of HDFC AMC and Groww were also among the early losers due to stock-specific concerns.

On the positive side, ICICI Lombard gained in early trade, supported by buying interest after recent business updates. Waaree Renewable also saw some buying interest, bucking the broader weak trend.

Market analysts said the Nifty is facing resistance at higher levels and may remain volatile in the short term. They advised investors to stay cautious and focus on stock-specific opportunities rather than broad market buying.

Markets traded volatile on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, as investors remained cautious amid mixed global cues and stock-specific action. The Sensex swung between gains and losses, while the Nifty 50 hovered near the 25,800 mark for most of the session.

After opening on a positive note, benchmark indices erased early gains due to selling pressure in IT and FMCG stocks. At the day’s low, the Sensex slipped over 200 points, while the Nifty briefly dipped below 25,750 before recovering partially.

Metal and energy stocks provided some support, helping limit deeper losses. Market participants remained selective ahead of key earnings announcements and continued to track global market trends.

Among the top gainers, Coal India, Hindalco Industries and Tata Steel rose on strong buying interest. Asian Paints and Trent also ended higher, supported by steady demand.

On the other hand, Eicher Motors, Titan Company and Bharat Electronics were among the major losers. Stocks such as Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Eternal also traded lower, dragged by profit-booking and weak sentiment in select sectors.

In the broader market, mid-cap and small-cap stocks showed mixed performance, with advances and declines evenly matched. Sectorally, metal and energy indices outperformed, while IT and FMCG indices underperformed.

Indian equity markets closed higher on Monday, as the BSE Sensex settled 302 points higher, while the NSE Nifty50 ended above the 25,750 mark, supported by late buying in metal and select consumer stocks.

Markets opened on a weak note and remained under pressure for most of the day. The Sensex had fallen over 700 points during intraday trade, and the Nifty slipped below 25,500, as investors stayed cautious amid mixed global cues and ongoing earnings announcements. However, sentiment improved sharply in the second half, helping benchmarks recover most of their losses by the close.

At the end of the session, the Sensex closed near 83,878, while the Nifty finished around 25,790. The rebound was driven largely by strength in metal stocks, which saw strong buying interest after recent corrections.

Among the top gainers, Coal India surged over 3 percent, emerging as the best-performing Nifty stock. Tata Steel and Asian Paints also gained nearly 3 percent each, supported by buying in commodities and expectations of stable demand. Other metal stocks such as JSW Steel and Hindalco Industries also ended higher, lifting the broader sector.

On the downside, IT and auto stocks faced selling pressure. Infosys slipped over 1 percent, reflecting continued caution around global technology spending. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Auto, and Eicher Motors also ended lower, limiting the overall market upside.

Sectorally, metal and select consumer stocks outperformed, while IT, banking, and auto sectors showed mixed trends. Investors continued to assess quarterly earnings, including results from major IT companies, which remained a key focus during the session.

Sector-wise, banking, real estate, auto and consumer discretionary stocks led the decline, dragging the broader indices lower.

Tejas Networks plunged sharply after posting weak quarterly results marked by a steep fall in revenue and widening losses. Signatureglobal also remained under pressure, sliding closer to its 52-week low amid concerns over growth guidance.

On the other hand, a few stocks managed to buck the weak market trend. IREDA shares gained after the state-owned lender reported a strong rise in quarterly profit and revenue, supported by higher loan disbursements.

As the markets opened on Wednesday, the BSE Sensex fell around 150 points, while the Nifty50 slipped below the 26,150 mark in early trade. Selling pressure in heavyweight stocks weighed on overall market sentiment.

The equity markets opened on a weak note on Tuesday, with benchmark indices slipping into the red amid selling pressure in banking, IT, and select heavyweight stocks. The BSE Sensex fell by over 200 points in early trade, while the NSE Nifty 50 slipped below the 26,250 mark, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.

Markets had a mixed start despite positive signals from GIFT Nifty, but gains were short-lived as profit booking emerged soon after the opening bell. Heavyweight stocks such as HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries were among the top drags on the indices. HDFC Bank shares declined sharply for the second straight session, weighing heavily on the banking pack. Investors remained cautious despite the bank reporting steady advances growth, as concerns persisted around deposit mobilisation and margin outlook.

Other banking and financial stocks also traded lower, pulling the Bank Nifty into negative territory. IT stocks saw mild selling as traders adopted a wait-and-watch approach ahead of upcoming quarterly earnings announcements. Capital goods and auto stocks also faced pressure, adding to the overall weakness in the broader market.

On the sectoral front, most NSE indices were trading in the red. FMCG and metal stocks showed limited movement, while pharma shares were mixed. Torrent Pharma shares were in focus, while IndusInd Bank also witnessed volatility during the session.

Some pockets of strength were visible, with select private lenders and non-banking finance companies managing modest gains on the back of stock-specific triggers and positive business updates. However, these gains were insufficient to offset losses in index heavyweights.

Global cues were mixed, with Asian markets trading cautiously amid ongoing geopolitical concerns and uncertainty around global interest rate trajectories. Investors also remained alert to developments in the US markets and movements in commodity prices, which continued to show volatility.

In the currency market, the Indian rupee traded with a slight positive bias against the US dollar in early trade, offering limited support to sentiment. However, this did little to lift equity markets as domestic factors dominated trading.

The broader market showed mixed performance, with mid-cap and small-cap stocks trading flat to slightly positive. The Indian rupee weakened marginally against the US dollar, adding to cautious sentiment.

The equity markets extended gains on January 2, supported by strong buying in automobile and select banking stocks. The BSE Sensex rose around 350 points, while the Nifty 50 climbed above the 26,250 mark, reflecting cautious optimism among investors at the start of the New Year amid stock-specific action and limited broader participation.

Automobile stocks emerged as the clear outperformers after companies reported healthy December sales numbers. Hero MotoCorp and TVS Motor Company gained up to 3 per cent, benefiting from strong volume growth, while Maruti Suzuki also traded firmly, lending support to the benchmark indices. Other auto names such as Bosch and Motherson added to the momentum, pushing the Nifty Auto index higher.

The banking space also contributed to the upside, with PSU lenders showing buying interest. Shares of Punjab & Sind Bank and Indian Bank advanced, helping offset weakness in other pockets of the market. Investors remained selective, focusing on stocks with visible earnings momentum and positive business updates.

However, gains were capped by pressure in the FMCG sector. ITC declined close to 4 per cent, emerging as one of the top drags on the benchmarks amid concerns over higher taxes and near-term margin pressures. Other consumer stocks such as Godfrey Phillips, Zydus Wellness, and Parag Milk Foods also traded lower, keeping the Nifty FMCG index under pressure.

Shares of Hyundai Motor India slipped despite reporting year-on-year growth in sales, indicating cautious sentiment and some profit booking in the stock. Bajaj Auto traded marginally lower, reflecting mixed performance within the broader auto space despite overall sectoral strength.

Market participants also tracked global cues and commodity prices, while trading volumes remained relatively thin, a typical trend during the early days of the year. Analysts said investors are likely to remain stock-specific in the near term, with attention shifting gradually towards quarterly earnings announcements and macroeconomic data.

Overall, strength in auto and PSU bank stocks helped the Sensex and Nifty hold firm, even as FMCG and select consumer names limited the upside, underscoring a cautious but positive undertone in the market.
