Domestic stock markets opened in the red on Wednesday, extending selling pressure from the previous trading session amid continued concerns over new 25 per cent US tariffs on countries engaged in trade with Iran amid rising geopolitical tensions in the country.
According to Bernstein, 2026 brings no new tailwinds to Indian equity markets. By definition, a Neutral rating means that returns on investments are likely in line with broader market returns.
Indian stock benchmarks settled in the red for the fourth consecutive session on Thursday, weighed down by persistent weak sentiment among investors due to US tariffs and foreign investment outflows.
The selling spree in India's stock markets continued on Tuesday, with both benchmark indices staying in the red through the session, largely due to profit booking amid relatively subdued sentiment and caution among investors.
Only three sectors witnessed buying in trade including Nifty Media (up 0.93%), Nifty FMCG (up 0.11%) and Nifty PSU Bank (up 0.05%). Nifty IT (0.75%) and Nifty Bank (0.53%) were the key losers.
Among the sectors, except media and metal, all other sectoral indices ended in the red. Information Technology, Oil & Gas, Pharma, PSU Bank were down 0.4% each.
The domestic equity markets opened lower on Monday amid cautious global cues, continued foreign investor selling and uncertainty around key global central bank actions, as investors remained in a wait-and-watch mode for positive triggers such as a favourable US-India trade deal.
