Stock Market Live Updates 27 Jan 2026: Sensex, Nifty slip in early trade as F&O settlement and FII outflows weigh

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian equity markets opened on a weak note on Tuesday, with the BSE Sensex down 192 points at 81,344 and the NSE Nifty slipping 30 points to 25,018. With the NSE F&O monthly settlement approaching, persistent FII selling, weaker December quarter results, and global trade uncertainties continue to weigh on investor sentiment. Analysts expect limited downside from current levels, noting that positive cues could trigger a sharp technical pullback. The potential India–EU free trade agreement could act as a counter-cyclical buffer, boosting exports in Pharma, Textiles, and Chemicals, while providing regulatory clarity and foreign investment inflows. Early support is coming from mildly positive US and Asian markets, as well as near-term optimism from the US administration’s remarks on tariff rollbacks. Additionally, RBI’s ₹1 lakh crore liquidity measures through government securities purchases will stabilize funding conditions. With the Union Budget and clarity on US-India trade timelines ahead, markets are likely to remain cautious, but selective buying opportunities may emerge in key sectors.
