Stock Market Trend Today India: On Tuesday, January 27, 2026, there was tremendous volatility in the Indian stock market which left investors surprised. Today, according to the trend of the stock market in India, the market opened in the green mark but within a few seconds it came into the red mark due to heavy selling by investors. Despite this fall, the rupee’s position improved by 10 paise against the dollar in the initial session. Amidst the fluctuations in Indian indices and global cues, investors are now eyeing the upcoming budget and international trade policies.

initial market movements

BSE Sensex opened at 9:15 am with a gain of 128.45 points at 81,666.15 but this gain could not last long. After some time, the market took a huge dive of 192.46 points and the index fell to the level of 81,345.24. Similarly, after the initial rise of 69.25 points, Nifty also fell by 26.65 points and started trading at the level of 25,022.

Impact of sectoral decline

If we look at the sectoral level, except the metal sector, all other major sectors were seen trading in the red on Tuesday. Auto, consumer durables and realty sectors recorded a decline of up to 1 percent, which significantly weakened the overall market sentiment. Apart from this, a decline of 0.5 percent was also seen in Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices which indicates widespread selling in the market.

huge movement in stocks

Amidst the ups and downs of the market, stocks like Axis Bank, UltraTech Cement, Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports and JSW Steel remained in the list of top gainers. On the other hand, investors sold heavily in passenger vehicle segment shares of M&M, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Wipro, Shashwat and Tata Motors. In the early session, traders showed interest in select metal and cement stocks while staying away from banking and auto sector stocks.

slight improvement in rupee

The Indian rupee recovered from its all-time low and strengthened by 10 paise against the US dollar in early trade. In the Interbank Foreign Exchange, the rupee opened at the level of 91.80, which is considered to be a much better performance as compared to the previous closing price of 91.90. The decline in the dollar index from higher levels helped the rupee improve its position in early trade.

Impact of global signals

Recent signals from the US administration are also having a deep impact on the market sentiment, which has brought some relief to Indian investors. The US has indicated that there is a strong possibility of India withdrawing the tariff measures imposed on Russian oil imports. However, after last week’s biggest weekly fall, the market still seems to be struggling hard to recover completely.

Main challenges of the future

Investors are now eyeing Budget 2026 which will accurately determine the next direction of the market and sector-specific bullishness or recession. In the coming days, sales by foreign investors and corporate earnings data are going to prove to be very important for the Indian market. At present, there is an environment of uncertainty in the market, hence experts have advised to invest with caution in case of every major fall.
