Markets start 2026 flat, ITC pulls down index
Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended almost flat on the first trading session of 2026, as massive selling in ITC stock and foreign fund outflows amid thin investor participation diminished the initial enthusiasm. A selective buying trend on some counters supported the equity market, but a weak rupee against the dollar impacted sentiments, traders said.
