The Indian stock market opened lower on Tuesday as investor sentiment remained weak after the sharp sell-off in the previous session. The BSE Sensex started the day down by around 500 points, while the NSE Nifty slipped below the 26,000 mark in early trade.

Markets opened on a cautious note and remained volatile in the first hour. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks also came under pressure, showing that investors were in a risk-off mood. Global uncertainty, weak cues from overseas markets and concerns over interest rate decisions in the US added to the nervousness.

A few stocks managed to move higher despite the weak market. IT and FMCG stocks showed resilience as investors shifted money to defensive sectors. Shares of TCS, Infosys, HUL and Nestlé India were among the early gainers. Select pharma stocks also saw buying interest.

Heavy selling was seen in banking, metal and infrastructure stocks. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, Tata Steel and JSW Steel were among the major losers in early trade. Realty and PSU stocks were also under pressure.

Most sectoral indices were trading in the red, with banks, metals, realty and auto stocks leading the losses. IT stocks were the only sector showing relative strength.

Market experts said today’s weak opening reflects ongoing global worries and foreign investor selling. A weak rupee and rising bond yields internationally also kept investors cautious.

Analysts advised investors to stay calm during this volatile phase and avoid panic buying or selling. They said market movements in the near term will depend largely on global developments and foreign investment flows.

Indian stock markets opened lower on December 8 as investors traded cautiously due to mixed global signals. The BSE Sensex fell by more than 300 points in early trade, while the Nifty 50 slipped below the 26,100 level.

Market sentiment was affected by weakness in the rupee and uncertainty ahead of key global interest rate decisions, especially from the US Federal Reserve. Foreign investors were also seen as cautious, with some money moving out of emerging markets.

Aviation stock InterGlobe Aviation, the parent company of IndiGo, saw a sharp fall in its share price after concerns over regulatory issues and recent flight operation disruptions. Heavyweight stocks like Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv and Bharat Electronics also dragged the market.

Mid-cap and small-cap stocks showed weakness, while real estate shares remained under pressure. Analysts said investors are avoiding big bets until there is more clarity on global economic trends.

Experts believe market movements will remain volatile in the near term, depending on global cues, foreign fund flows and domestic liquidity conditions.

Indian markets opened weak on Thursday, with the Sensex slipping nearly 100 points to around 85,013 and the Nifty falling below 26,000 to about 25,956 in early trade. The decline came after the rupee hit a fresh record low against the US dollar, triggering cautious sentiment and continued selling by foreign investors.

As the session progressed, the market recovered part of its early losses, supported by buying in IT, metal and banking stocks. Key gainers included Wipro, TCS, ICICI Bank, Hindalco and HDFC Bank, all rising between 1% and 1.8%, helping lift overall sentiment.

However, the broader market remained mixed. Several stocks extended losses, with Max Healthcare, Adani Enterprises and Bharat Electronics falling around 2–3%, reflecting pressure on mid- and small-cap segments.

Analysts say volatility is likely to continue as long as the rupee remains weak and foreign outflows persist. While export-linked sectors may benefit from the currency slide, the overall market mood remains cautious, and traders are expected to stay selective until clearer policy cues emerge.

Indian stock markets began Wednesday’s session on a quiet note. The Sensex opened almost unchanged, rising only about a dozen points near the 85,150 level. The Nifty, however, slipped slightly at the start and opened just above 26,000 before easing further.

The mood was cautious right from the opening bell. Several big companies such as HUL, Titan, BEL, NTPC and Tata Motors (passenger vehicles) came under early selling pressure, pulling the market down.

At the same time, some support came from information technology and banking stocks. Shares of TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra and ICICI Bank were among the early gainers, helping prevent a steeper fall.

The flat opening reflects the wait-and-watch approach among traders ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s policy meeting this week. With no major triggers early in the day, investors preferred to stay on the sidelines and trade carefully.

Overall, the morning trade showed mixed signals, weakness in consumer and PSU stocks, but some strength in IT and banking, keeping the market steady but muted.

Indian stock markets opened in the red on Tuesday as weak global cues and heavy selling in financial stocks pulled benchmark indices lower. The BSE Sensex fell 316 points at the opening bell to 85,325, while the Nifty 50 declined 88 points to begin the session at 26,088.

The decline comes just a day after both indices touched fresh all-time highs. On Monday, the Sensex had climbed above 86,000 and the Nifty had crossed 26,325, driven by strong domestic economic data and broad-based buying. However, profit-booking set in soon after, and that corrective trend carried into today’s session.

The financial sector was the biggest drag early in the day. Heavyweights such as HDFC Bank led the fall, putting pressure on the banking and financial indices and weighing on overall market sentiment. Investors remained cautious, especially as valuations in several large-cap counters remain stretched after the recent rally.

In contrast, select stocks from the energy, pharma and mid-cap segments showed resilience, with Gujarat State Petronet, Natco Pharma and JSW Holdings emerging as top gainers in early trade. Their gains, however, were not enough to offset losses in major financial names, making the overall market breadth negative.

Analysts believe the decline reflects a phase of consolidation rather than a shift in long-term sentiment. After a sharp uptrend over the past few weeks, the market is seeing natural profit-taking as investors look for fresh triggers. Global market softness, concerns around upcoming central bank commentary, and foreign investor activity are also influencing near-term direction.

Going ahead, traders will closely watch movements in banking stocks, global market trends and institutional flows. Any renewed interest in defensives or strong mid-cap names could help stabilise the market, but broader sentiment is likely to stay cautious in the short term.

Indian stock markets hit fresh lifetime highs as the Sensex rose nearly 300 points and the Nifty moved above the 26,300 mark. The rally was driven by stronger-than-expected GDP growth, improving investor sentiment, and hopes of an interest-rate cut in upcoming policy reviews.

Buying was seen across major sectors, with banking, auto and metal stocks supporting the uptrend. Among the top gainers were Adani Enterprises, M&M, Adani Ports, Sun Pharma and Hindustan Unilever, all contributing to the record run.

However, not all heavyweights joined the rally. SBI Life, Shriram Finance, HDFC Life, Power Grid and Bharti Airtel were among the notable losers, slipping due to profit-booking and sector-specific pressure.

Overall market sentiment remained upbeat as traders bet on continued economic momentum and favourable global cues, though analysts advised caution at elevated levels.

The Indian market began the session on a firm note on Friday, with the Sensex opening around 85,788, up 68 points, and the Nifty starting near 26,233, adding about 17 points. The early tone remained positive as investors continued to buy into cyclicals after the recent record-high rally.

Auto and metal stocks supported the market at the open, with Mahindra & Mahindra, Reliance Industries, Hindustan Unilever, Tech Mahindra and Titan gaining between 1% and 2%. Sectorally, the metal index rose around 0.5%, while auto stocks also saw steady traction.

However, the broader mood was mixed as oil & gas stocks traded lower, keeping overall gains in check. Analysts said the opening reflects cautious optimism, with markets expected to stay in a consolidation phase after hitting new peaks earlier in the week.

Indian equity markets extended their upward momentum on Thursday, with benchmark indices closing higher for a second straight day on the back of broad-based buying and firm global cues. The Sensex climbed nearly 600 points, while the Nifty added close to 180 points, supported by strength in defensives, technology majors and key manufacturing plays. Overall, 32 of the 50 Nifty constituents ended in the green, signalling renewed risk appetite among investors.

The trading session was defined by steady accumulation across most sectors, even as certain pockets saw mild profit-taking. Defensives such as pharmaceuticals and FMCG maintained a constructive undertone, aided by stable earnings visibility. Technology stocks, buoyed by expectations of improved global demand and easing macro pressures, also contributed meaningfully to the indices’ gains. Manufacturing-linked counters, including select capital goods and industrial suppliers, continued to benefit from strong order flows and domestic capex momentum.

However, sentiment was slightly softer in energy, consumer durables and public-sector banking. These groups witnessed brief phases of consolidation as investors assessed near-term valuations and awaited fresh economic signals. Analysts noted that this pattern reflected a healthy rotation rather than a weakening of broader market strength.

Stock-specific action remained prominent. While most heavyweights moved higher, a few names bucked the trend. Whirlpool of India, Natco Pharma and Kaynes Technology India emerged as notable losers, slipping due to sectoral moderation and selective profit-booking after recent rallies. Market participants suggested that the declines were more technical than fundamental, with no major negative triggers emerging during the session.

Despite these isolated weaknesses, overall market breadth stayed supportive. Mid-cap and small-cap indices also closed in positive territory, indicating that buying interest was not limited to large caps. With global markets stable and domestic indicators holding firm, investors appeared comfortable taking incremental risk, though some caution remained around external triggers such as commodity price fluctuations and central bank commentary.

The markets bounced back with fresh energy on Wednesday after three days of weakness. The Sensex rallied more than 600 points, and the Nifty climbed past 26,050, signalling a strong return in investor confidence.

The biggest boost came from metal stocks and PSU banks, which were the clear outperformers of the day. JSW Steel topped the gainer’s list, reflecting strong buying interest in the sector. On the other side, Bharti Airtel slipped around 2%, making it one of the notable laggards even as the broader market moved higher.

The positive mood wasn’t just domestic — upbeat global markets also helped lift sentiment. Asian indices and U.S. cues were strong, giving traders the reassurance needed to step back into the market.

Importantly, the rally was broad-based. Buying was seen across multiple sectors, showing that the recovery wasn’t limited to a handful of stocks but spread across the market. If global cues stay stable and sector leaders continue to perform, this momentum may carry forward into the next few sessions.
