Ten major highlights from the first day of the Indian stock market. Why did the benchmarks for the market conclude flat?
For the majority of the session, the Sensex was in the red. It was down 427 points, or 0.50%, at one point in the session. But thanks to advances in a few heavyweights, like Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, Larsen, and Toubro, the index concluded with only slight losses.
The Indian rupee's decline, the ongoing flight of foreign capital, and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding an India-US trade agreement have all contributed to the poor sentiment in the home market.
In intraday trading on Monday, the rupee fell to a record low of 90.75 against the US dollar.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, stated that "persistent foreign fund outflows and a weak rupee have kept markets in a narrow range, with currency volatility likely to continue until clarity emerges on the India–US trade deal."
"Sentiment is stabilizing due to expectations of an earnings rebound in H2FY26, which are bolstered by fiscal and monetary growth factors. In the future, market momentum is anticipated to be driven more by earnings than by valuation, according to Nair.
The Nifty 50 index's top gainers were shares of InterGlobe Aviation (up 2.05%), Trent (up 1.22%), and Hindustan Unilever (up 1.21%).

The technical prognosis for Nifty
The last swing high zone of 26,050–26,100 may serve as an immediate resistance zone for the Nifty 50, according to Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities.
"The Nifty may continue its decline towards 26,200 and perhaps 26,300 if it continues to rise above this latest swing high of 26,100. The range of 25,950 to 25,900 is probably going to serve as a solid support for the index on the downside, Shah stated.

25,900 and 25,850 would serve as important support zones, according to Kotak Securities' head of equity research, Shrikant Chouhan. As long as the indicator is above these crucial levels, positive mood is probably going to persist.
For day traders, the immediate resistance area on the upward side would be 26,100. The market may rise to 26,200–26,250 if 26,100 is broken. However, Chouhan stated that the uptrend will become susceptible below 25,850.
