Sensex plunges 1,066 points, Nifty slips below 25,250; IT and auto stocks tumble

The S&P BSE Sensex dropped 1,065.71 points to close at 82,180.47, while the NSE Nifty50 fell 353 points to end at 25,232.50, with both indices declining more than one percent at the close.

Dalal Street closed sharply lower on Tuesday, continuing its downward trend in 2026. Benchmark indices ended in the red as multiple factors weighed on sentiment, with IT, real estate, and auto stocks leading the losses.

The S&P BSE Sensex fell 1,065.71 points to close at 82,180.47, while the NSE Nifty50 dropped 353 points to end at 25,232.50, both down over one percent at the closing bell. Domestic markets remained cautious ahead of a potential U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Trump-era tariffs, with uncertainty over U.S. trade policy prolonging market consolidation.

Continued foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows, rising U.S. and Japanese bond yields, and a weakening rupee further dampened investor confidence. Mid- and small-cap stocks underperformed, while HDFC Bank was among the few top performers, closing 0.38% higher. Key decliners included Eternal (-4.02%), Bajaj Finance (-3.88%), Sun Pharma (-3.68%), IndiGo (-3.04%), and Trent (-2.89%).

Analysts noted that heightened global uncertainty and falling equities drove investors toward safe-haven assets, with gold and silver trading at record highs. From a technical perspective, Nifty’s immediate support is near 25,114, coinciding with its 200-day moving average, while resistance remains at 25,500. A break below support could further weaken sentiment, while any recovery may face strong resistance at higher levels.
