Sensex’s five-day slide puts 12 BSE 100 stocks in a rare losing streak as VIX drops

Twelve stocks in India’s BSE 100 index dropped in each of the five trading days ending Jan. 9, with Suzlon Energy losing about 9% during that span, according to data compiled by ETMarkets.com. The Sensex fell 2.55% to 83,576.24 over the same period, while the stocks that kept sliding posted total declines ranging from roughly 3% to 9%, the report noted. The streak is key as traders try to decide if the early-year jitters are just noise or a wider risk reset tied to U.S. trade and interest rates. The Cboe Volatility Index — the VIX, which gauges expected near-term S&P 500 swings from options pricing — stood at 14.49 late on Jan. 9, slipping about 6% on the day, per MarketWatch data.
