Indian equity markets ended the session on a cautious note, closing slightly lower amid a choppy trading environment. Persistent foreign fund outflows and continued weakness in the rupee kept benchmark indices range-bound through most of the day. Currency volatility remains a key concern for investors and is expected to continue until there is clearer visibility on the India–US trade deal.
Market participants also stayed guarded ahead of crucial macroeconomic data releases from the United States, including CPI inflation and employment figures. These data points are expected to influence global liquidity conditions and shape interest rate expectations for 2026.
At the close, the Sensex declined by 54.30 points, or 0.06%, to settle at 85,213.36. The Nifty 50 also ended lower, slipping 19.65 points, or 0.08%, to close at 26,027.30.
