Share Market Down: Share market down today on 5 big reasons sensex falls 400 points from day high nifty near 26000

Share Market Down: Indian stock markets witnessed sharp fluctuations on Monday 29 December. Both Sensex and Nifty lost their initial gains and fell. Sensex fell nearly 400 points from the day’s high. Whereas Nifty fell near 26000. Continuous selling by foreign investors and rise in crude oil prices have put pressure on the market. At the beginning of trading, the Sensex had risen 209 points or 0.24 percent to reach the level of 85,250. Whereas Nifty increased by 64.5 points to the level of 26,106.80. However, this momentum could not last long.

At around 11:30 am, the Sensex traded at 84,763.91, down nearly 500 points from the day’s high, down 277.55 points or 0.33 per cent. Nifty fell by 75.35 points or 0.29 percent to 25,966.95. BSE midcap and smallcap indices also fell up to 0.35 per cent. The biggest decline was seen in IT, banking, power and realty stocks.

There were 5 important reasons behind today’s decline in the stock market-

1. Low trading volume at the end of the year

Investors appeared cautious due to low trading volume in the last days of the year. The average daily trading volume of Nifty-50 in December was around 25 crore shares, which is less than the level of 30 crore shares in November. Akash Shah, Research Analyst, Choice Broking, said that at the end of the year, market participation is usually low due to holidays, due to which the trading volume decreases and the market movement remains sluggish.

2. Continuous selling by foreign investors

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold shares worth Rs 317.56 crore on Friday. This was the fourth consecutive day of net selling by FIIs. This continuous selling weakened the morale of investors and put brakes on any major rise in domestic stocks.

3. Rise in crude oil prices

A rise in crude oil prices was seen in the international market. The price of Brent crude oil rose 1.04 percent to $ 61.27 per barrel. Due to the cost of crude oil, India’s import bill increases and the concern about inflation also increases, which has a negative impact on the stock market.

4. Weakening of global signals

US stock markets closed flat on Friday, while US futures were also trading sluggish on Monday morning (Indian time), indicating a weak start in overseas markets. In Asian markets, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index was also seen trading with a decline.

VK Vijayakumar, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd, said that a strong rally in the market needs a big trigger, such as a trade agreement between India and the US. There is no clarity on this at present. In such a situation, there is a possibility of consolidation in the market in the near future. He says investors can use this consolidation phase to gradually invest in good quality stocks, especially largecap stocks.

5. Fall in rupee

The Indian rupee fell 5 paise to 89.95 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday. Selling by foreign investors and weak start of the stock market also had an impact on the rupee. Earlier on Friday also a fall of 19 paise was seen in the rupee.

What do technical experts say?

According to Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, Nifty is currently trading close to its 20-day simple moving average.

He said that initially a slight recovery may be seen, but to confirm the strength, it is necessary for Nifty to go above 26,127–26,150. If Nifty fails to hold the levels of 26,050–26,077, it may witness further decline and slip to 25,935–25,850. If necessary, levels of 25,740–25,650 can also be seen, although today the probability of this is less.

Operations continue, interim arrangements implemented

Railway stocks: Railway stocks gave up to 26% return in 5 days, what caused this stormy rise? Know details – railway stocks rally last five sessions rvnl irfc ircon railtel texmaco up to 26 percent return explained ahead of budget 2026

Railway stocks: Railway stocks are witnessing tremendous growth during the last five trading sessions. These included RVNL, IRFC, IRCON, Texmaco Rail to RailTel. In these five days, the share of Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has increased from around Rs 306 to Rs 387.25, i.e. a rise of more than 26.50 percent.

Similarly, IRFC shares have increased from Rs 110.81 to Rs 133.60, giving investors a return of about 20 percent. Shares of IRCON International also increased from Rs 150 to Rs 178.25, i.e. an increase of about 19 percent.

Good buying was also seen in shares of RailTel Corporation of India, Texmaco Rail and IRCTC during this period.

Why did railway stocks rise without any fundamental change?

Now the question is that when there was no major change in the fundamentals of the companies, then why did the railway stocks rise so much? Market experts say that the recent rise in railway stocks like RVNL, IRFC and IRCON is entirely the result of change in market sentiment.

In the last one year, there was a sharp decline in railway sector shares due to concerns over high valuations, FII selling and pressure on margins. Now after the same correction, investors feel that the story is being made again in the sector.

Expectations boosted confidence before the budget

The excitement before the Union Budget to be presented in February 2026 has also increased investor confidence. Gross budgetary support, expectation of increase in capex through market borrowing and possibilities of increase in new orders are creating a positive environment for the railway sector.

Passenger fare increase becomes immediate trigger

A major immediate reason for the rise in railway stocks is the increase in passenger fares for the second time in FY26. This increase has come into effect from 26 December 2025. However, this increase is not very much. Only 1 to 2 paise per kilometer depending on the travel class. But it is expected to generate additional revenue of about Rs 600 crore in the current financial year.

This makes the picture of Railways’ earnings clearer. This indicates that the railway sector is gradually moving towards a better financial position. The market has considered this as a positive sign for the PSU companies related to railways.

Expectations related to Budget 2026 increased

Apart from fare hike, pre-budget positioning is also pushing railway stocks higher. Investors are assuming that the government’s emphasis on railway based infrastructure will continue in the upcoming Budget 2026.

Railway PSU stocks are witnessing renewed interest on expectations of increased capex for network expansion, new coaches, signaling systems, safety upgrades and modernisation. History also shows that railway stocks often perform well due to policy expectations ahead of the Budget.

Despite the boom, investors should remain cautious

However, market experts say that investors should be cautious about railway stocks. The current rally is mostly based on expectations and sentiment, and not on any major improvement in earnings in the short term.

Long-term returns will depend on how much support is actually provided in the budget, whether projects are completed on time, how strong cash flows remain and how far the rent reform process progresses. Therefore, investors should focus on the fundamentals and execution capabilities of companies instead of taking decisions based only on short-term growth.

Stocks to Watch: These 14 stocks will be in focus on Monday 29th December, you may get a chance to earn huge profits.
