Stock Market Today: Bloodbath On Thursday; Sell-Off Rocks Indian Indices

The Indian share market was under tremendous selling pressure on Thursday, with Nifty 50 dropping below the 26,000 mark to a closing price of 25,876, a fall of 263 points. The decline in Sensex was even more significant, as it went down by 780 points to 84,180, and the Bank Nifty decreased to 59,686. Both mid-cap and small-cap indices suffered heavily, recording declines of nearly 2% each.

And this is only the ninth day of the year 2026! Global chaos has already started to reflect in the markets , the US-Venezuela crisis, fluctuations in crude oil prices, and Trump’s threat of imposing 500% tariffs have made FIIs nervous, resulting in a big fallout in India. Investors and traders are watching the situation closely, hoping that the Indian government will take decisive steps to stabilize the market.

Market bears consider it a tough correction, but market bulls are already optimistic about a rebound. One thing is for sure: 2026 has started wildly, and every move will be watched like a hawk.
