11:00 AM IST — Markets Open Lower, Early Trades Reflect Volatility

Indian Stock Market stays hopeful from the Tuesday, but the global uncertainty and Q1 earnings season keeps the investor community on their heels

The Indian stock market opened Monday’s session on a negative note, with Sensex and Nifty opening in the red. The Nifty 50 dipped below 24,800 levels at the opening, while the BSE Sensex declined by more than 200 points, falling as low as 81,240.22 in early trade. Lower Circuits hit for OlaTech, Zen Technologies and others.

Crucial to Watch

IT and Bank Stocks In Pressure: The IT sector index and major bank names are dragging indices lower. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares fell after the company said it would lay off around 12000 of staff, denting overall sector sentiment. Kotak Mahindra Bank also fell sharply after reporting a steep year-on-year fall in profits and market concerns regarding asset quality.
Midcap & Smallcap Resilient enough: Midcaps showed a strong recovery after an early fall, with the Nifty Midcap 100 index rising more than 650 points from intra-day lows. Larger small-cap indices are faring better as investors seek value beyond blue-chips.
FII Outflow continued amid Global turmoil: Back-to-back foreign institutional investor (FII) selling and global uncertainty, especially over US policy choices later this week, are the critical overhangs. Last week’s steady losses and a weak start for GIFT Nifty indicated sustained caution among traders.
Key Quarterly Results: SBI Cards, IndusInd Bank, Mazagon Dock, and BEL are some of the top companies reporting results today, which should provide direction to sectoral movements.

Early Gainers & Losers:

Main Gainers: Tata Motors, Shriram Finance, Bajaj Auto, UltraTech Cement, and Adani Enterprises are displaying resilience in the initial trades.
Top Losers: Kotak Mahindra Bank, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Bharti Airtel, and Titan top the list of laggards, primarily dragged down by weakness in the financial and IT sectors.

Market Outlook:

Analysts identify solid support for Nifty at 24,770 and resistance around 24,940–25,000. The day is likely to remain volatile with a bias towards range-bound movements, with investors waiting for further corporate results and an understanding of global trends. The near term continues to stay in the wings of the US Fed meeting, India-US trade negotiations, and additional Q1 FY26 financial results.
