Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Today's market started with strong optimism, but weakness in rupee and pressure from global uncertainty completely changed the mood by closing bell. Indian markets erased early gains and ended slightly lower today after the rupee hit a fresh all-time low against the US dollar.

[00:00:17]The Sensex closed down 114 points at 75,200, while Nifty 50 ended lower by 32 points closing at 23,618.

[00:00:26]Markets were trading strongly in the first half session, but sentiment turned cautious after the rupee weakened sharply to a record low of 96.62 against the dollar. Higher crude oil prices, global geopolitical tensions, and continued uncertainty around the US-Iran situations created pressure on banking and financial stocks. The biggest drag on the market came from private banking stocks. Kotak Mahindra Bank was among the top losers today along with Titan, Bharti Airtel, Ultratech Cement, and Adani Ports. However, the biggest positive today was the IT sector. The Nifty IT index surged more than 3% as investors bought export-oriented technology companies that benefit from a weaker rupee.

[00:01:07]Infosys, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, TCS, and Wipro were among the top gainers in today's session. Broader market were much stronger than benchmark indices.

[00:01:16]Mid-cap and small-cap stocks continued to outperform showing that buying interest is still active beneath the surface. The Nifty Mid-cap 100 index gained nearly 1%, while the small-cap index rose more than 1%. Among individual stocks, Triveni Turbine rallied sharply after reporting strong quarterly earnings and healthy export growth. Danuka Agritech also jumped after announcing a share buyback along with dividend recommendations.

[00:01:43]From a technical perspective, Nifty continues to face strong resistance near 23,800 zone. As long as Nifty stays below that level, markets may remain volatile and profit booking can continue.

[00:01:57]Immediate support is now placed near 23,500 and below that bears may gain further control. Overall market breadth remained positive today with more than 2,100 stock advancing indicating selective buying is still present despite weakness in headline indices. Tomorrow's market direction will largely depend on crude oil prices, rupee movements, and global geopolitical developments. Build wealth, stay rational with Wealth Origin. Thank you very much.
