Indian benchmark indices closed sharply lower on Thursday, January 8, as cautious investor sentiment dominated market activity through the session. Fresh concerns over potential United States tariff measures, along with continued foreign investor outflows, weighed on equities and overshadowed optimism surrounding the ongoing earnings season. The Nifty slipped below the 25,900 mark, reflecting broad-based selling pressure across the market.
At the close of trade, the Sensex declined 780.18 points, or 0.92%, to settle at 84,180.96. The Nifty fell 263.90 points, or 1.01%, ending the session at 25,876.85.
Sectoral trends remained weak, with significant losses recorded across key segments. Metal, Oil and Gas, Power, PSU Bank, and Capital Goods stocks each declined in the range of 2% to 3% as risk aversion continued to dominate trading activity.
Metal stocks faced profit booking following a decline in global commodity prices. Oil and Gas stocks also came under pressure due to geopolitical concerns related to the Venezuela–United States situation, which impacted investor sentiment in the energy space.
