  • Sensex and Nifty Slide Despite India-EU Trade Deal Announcement
    January 26, 2026, 11:32 PM EST. Indian equity markets opened lower on Tuesday after the Republic Day holiday despite news of a historic India-European Union trade deal nearing announcement. The Sensex dropped over 400 points early, and the Nifty fell close to 100 points before partially recovering. Pressure came mainly from auto stocks, as reports indicated India might cut tariffs on European car imports to 40%, hinting at increased competition for domestic makers like Mahindra and Mahindra, which fell 4%. Persistent foreign institutional investor selling, amounting to around Rs 40,000 crore in January, also weighed heavily on sentiment. Experts say the Nifty 25,000 level is critical; holding above it could signal a short-term recovery. Meanwhile, commodity markets saw sharp gains, with silver and gold futures reaching record highs amid global uncertainty.
