Domestic equity markets faced renewed selling pressure on Wednesday morning as global signals weakened due to a new surge in tensions in the Middle East and significant declines in major technology stocks in the United States. According to reports from Mint, the benchmark indices started lower, reflecting a cautious outlook among investors. The Nifty 50 index commenced at 25,675.05, decreasing by 52.50 points or 0.20 percent, while the BSE Sensex opened at 83,252.06, sharply dropping by 487.07 points or 0.58 percent.
Market analysts pointed to increased global volatility as the cause of the sluggish opening, as reported by Mint. Sagar Doshi, Senior Vice President-Research at Nuvama Professional Clients Group, noted that Nifty 50 has been on a roller coaster from the start of this calendar month with India VIX seeing over 80% gain in volatility from January 01, 2026. The gap between last week highs and yesterday's low is likely to get filled sooner this month, with support seen at the rising 200 DMA for targets of 25,940 / 26,100.
