India VIX, on a weekly chart, has posted the biggest spike since May 2025
Sensex today | Stock Market Highlights, Friday, January 9, 2026: Indian benchmark indices extended their rout on Friday -- the fifth straight session of decline -- and registered the worst weekly fall since September 2025. On Friday, the selling was led by realty, consumer durables and auto stocks.
At market close, Sensex was at 83,576.24, down 604.72 points or 0.72 per cent, and NSE Nifty50 was at 25,683.30, down 193.55 points or 0.75 per cent.
On a weekly basis, the Nifty and Sensex fell 2.45 per cent and 2.4 per cent, respectively, the worst showing since the week ended September 26, 2025. Meanwhile, the volatility index, India VIX, spiked 15.6 per cent this week, the steepest since May 2025.
In the Sensex index, Asian Paints, HCL Tech, BEL, Eternal, RIL and SBI shares were top gainers, and NTPC, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel and Sun Pharma were top losers.
In the broader markets, the Nifty Midcap 100 and the Nifty Smallcap 100 ended 0.79 per cent and 1.81 per cent lower, respectively. Hitachi Energy India, GE Vernova and T&D, Elecon Engineering Company, Indian Energy Exchange and Godrej Properties shares were among the worst performing in the broader markets.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The markets continued to remain under pressure for the fifth consecutive session, with the Nifty index slipping below the 25,700 mark and forming a bearish candlestick on the daily chart. Although the index attempted a pullback, it faced stiff resistance near the 50-DMA positioned around 25,960 levels. The next crucial support is placed at the 100-DMA near 25,540 levels, and as long as the index holds above this zone, a pullback towards 25,900 levels cannot be ruled out.
However, momentum indicators and oscillators have already generated sell crossovers on both the daily and weekly timeframes, indicating underlying weakness. Moreover, India VIX surged by 16 per cent during the week to close near the 11 mark, which continues to be a cause for concern.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Indian market remains in a consolidation phase due to weak global cues, rising global bond yields, and persistent FII outflows, all of which weigh on sentiment ahead of the positive Q3 earnings outlook. Domestic risk-off sentiment has intensified amid uncertainty surrounding US-India tariff negotiations and escalating geopolitical tensions.
Nevertheless, domestic GDP growth is expected to remain strong, and Q3 results should indicate a recovery led by midcaps, potentially stabilising investor sentiment. Despite these heightened geopolitical headwinds, the market is likely to trade within a range with a mixed bias.
