The Nifty Metal index outperformed others, ending higher by 3 per cent

Stock Market Highlights, Tuesday, January 27, 2026: India’s benchmark equity indices closed higher after a volatile session on Tuesday, buoyed by improved investor sentiment following the announcement of the bilateral trade deals between India and the European Union (EU).

The deal is expected to double EU goods exports to India by 2032 by eliminating or reducing tariffs on 96.6 per cent of EU goods exports to India. Meanwhile, the EU will eliminate or reduce tariffs on 99.5 per cent of goods imported from India.

At market close, the Nifty 50 ended 0.51 per cent or 126.75 points up at 25,175.40, and the Sensex was higher by 0.39 per cent or 319.78 points at 81,857.48.

In the Sensex pack, M&M, Asian Paints, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Eternal, ITC and Maruti Suzuki India were among the top draggers, trading lower by up to 4 per cent. Axis Bank, Adani Ports, NTPC, Tech Mahindra, Tata Steel and SBI were leading the gains on the BSE, with a jump of up to 5 per cent.

Among the broader indices, Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 ended higher by 0.59 per cent and 0.41 per cent, respectively.

On the sectoral front, the Nifty Metal index outperformed others, ending higher by 3 per cent, while the Nifty Media index closed lower by 1.4 per cent and the Nifty Auto index was down 0.9 per cent on Tuesday.

Stock Market LIVE Update: Technical view on Nifty 50

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The markets saw a strong rebound as Nifty found support near the 25,000 mark and reclaimed its long-term 200-DMA on a closing basis. However, the index is not out of the woods yet, and a decisive move above 25,400 is crucial to negate the prevailing bearish setup. The RSI has slipped into an extremely oversold zone, indicating the possibility of a short-term pullback. Meanwhile, The India Volatility Index cooled off sharply from its intraday highs of 16, but it remains in an uptrend, which continues to be a concern. We expect Nifty to oscillate within the broader range of 25,000–25,400 levels.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert's quote

Stock Market LIVE Update: Indian equities continued to trade with a measured and cautious undertone. The finalisation of the India–European Union bilateral trade agreement lent some support to investor sentiment amid a broader risk-off environment triggered by US tariff measures. However, sustained selling by foreign portfolio investors and muted third-quarter corporate earnings growth capped any meaningful upside in domestic equities.

With global uncertainties still lingering, market participants remained selective and largely range-bound, while attention stayed firmly on the upcoming Union Budget. Investors are closely tracking cues around taxation clarity, fiscal discipline, and the government’s capital-expenditure roadmap, which are expected to play a key role in shaping near-term market direction.

Globally, elevated US bond yields continue to exert pressure on risk assets. Defensive pockets and select PSU stocks are showing relative resilience. Overall, the market is turning increasingly event-driven, with a consolidation bias likely to persist until clearer policy signals emerge from the Budget narrative.

Stock Market LIVE Update: Technical view on Nifty Bank

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty Bank closed with a long bullish candlestick on the daily chart, indicating strong buying interest. The index found support near the 58,100 zone and witnessed a sharp follow-up rebound after the previous selling session, highlighting demand at lower levels. Volatility is expected to remain elevated in the coming sessions due to the Union Budget event. The 20-day moving average and the 59,500 zone will be crucial; a sustained close above these levels could decide the next directional move. Support is placed at 58,800, while resistance stands at 59,500.
