Market Outlook – 08 January 2026

• Sensex & Nifty: The markets started the day on a weak note and selling pressure kept building as the session progressed. Unlike the last few days, there was no recovery, and the Nifty ended nearly 1% lower, slipping just below the 25,900 level.

• Sector Performance: Midcap stocks saw heavy selling, wiping out the gains made in recent sessions. This segment may stay under the spotlight, as continued selling could lead to higher volatility in the broader market.

• Global Market Impact: Global cues were largely negative. Most Asian markets faced strong selling pressure, while European markets also traded in the red. The German DAX stood out as relatively stable, managing to trade flat with slight gains.
