  • Sensex: 83,382.71 (▼ 0.29%)
  • Nifty IT: ▼ 1.08%

Despite the weakness in large caps, broader markets performed better:

  • BSE Smallcap: ▲ 0.25%
  • BSE Midcap: ▲ 0.16%

The metal sector surged 2.67%, led by strong gains in stocks like Hindalco.

Key Sectoral Moves

Banking stocks showed resilience, with Nifty Bank ending flat at 59,580.15.

IT stocks remained under pressure after Jefferies highlighted margin concerns linked to new labor codes.

Auto stocks declined for the fifth straight session amid mixed global and domestic cues.

Real estate stocks extended losses for the seventh day, driven by concerns over IT sector layoffs.

Meanwhile, silver ETFs touched record highs, lifting stocks like Hindustan Zinc, which jumped 6%.

Corporate Highlights

  • Infosys: Q3FY26 net profit fell 2.2% YoY to ₹6,654 crore, missing estimates, though revenue guidance was raised. The company plans to hire 20,000 freshers in FY26.
  • RedTape: Shares surged 10% amid reports of a possible stake sale involving Blackstone and KKR.
  • Ixigo: Jumped 9% after an upgrade by JM Financial.
  • Blinkit: Scrapped its 10-minute delivery promise, impacting sentiment across quick commerce peers.

Market Outlook & Fund Flows

GIFT Nifty futures traded higher at 25,799.50 (▲ 0.47%), indicating a possible rebound when markets reopen, supported by optimism around US trade talks.

Institutional Activity:

  • FIIs: Net sellers of ₹36.25 crore
  • DIIs: Net buyers of ₹1,764 crore

Looking ahead, expectations from Union Budget 2026 revolve around consumption growth, capital expenditure, and fiscal consolidation.

Analysts see Nifty support near 25,300, while sectors like metals and select large caps such as HDFC Bank (buy target ₹1,850) may offer upside opportunities.

While markets are closed today, global cues, budget expectations, and sector rotation will shape sentiment in the coming sessions.
