Key Drivers of Today's Market
The primary factor contributing to today's market decline was widespread profit-taking by investors, particularly after financials had reached record highs on Friday. The Sensex had broken a four-day rally. Financial and auto stocks were notably pressured, leading to significant declines in high-weight constituents within these sectors.
Globally, the sentiment was somewhat positive due to easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and progress in US-China trade negotiations. However, this optimism was not enough to counter the domestic profit-booking momentum. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) had been net buyers on Friday, purchasing equities worth ₹1,397.02 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) sold ₹588.93 crore. Despite some improvement in global risk sentiment and foreign inflows, weak portfolio inflows in Q1 FY26 also impacted sentiment, with foreign investors pulling out $0.5 billion from Indian equities and bonds.
The Indian rupee also weakened, ending the day at 85.7550/USD, a slip of 0.3%.
Broader Market Performance
Despite the downturn in frontline indices, the broader market displayed notable strength. The Nifty Midcap100 index advanced by 0.68%, and the Nifty Smallcap100 index rose by 0.52%, both outperforming the main equity benchmarks. This suggests continued investor interest and resilience in the mid and small-cap segments amidst the profit-booking in large-cap stocks. The Nifty PSU Bank index was a standout performer, gaining 2.66%.
