Before we get into it,
In January 2026, the Nifty 50 declined 3.1% (808.95 points) after scaling to lifetime high, as sustained selling pressure triggered a healthy correction following its steady rise since September 2025, an essential mean reversion that strengthens the longer-term structure. Bank Nifty also touched a fresh lifetime high during the month but ended marginally positive, up 0.05% (28.6 points). Volatility stayed elevated amid geopolitical tensions, including Trump’s capture of Venezuela and President Maduro, persistent FII outflows of ₹41,435 crore, and Union Budget anticipation, while strong DII inflows of ₹69,221 crore cushioned the downside. Sectorally, Metals (+5.9%) and PSU Banks (+5.7%) outperformed, whereas Realty (-10.8%) and FMCG (-7.6%) lagged.
