Foreign selling pressure continuing in the cash market.

🗞️ Major Events & Their Market Impact
1) Global risk cues + tariff headlines
Markets stayed cautious as investors tracked global tariff-related uncertainty and broader geopolitical noise, which typically reduces appetite for risk assets.
2) Flow pressure (FII vs DII)
FII: net sellers: -₹3,769.31 Cr
DII: net buyers: +₹5,595.84 Cr 👉Trendline
Interpretation: Domestic institutions supported the market strongly, but foreign selling continued to cap upside.
🌡️ Volatility Check (India VIX)
India VIX stayed around the 10–11 zone, ticking higher.
That’s not panic, but it’s enough to keep traders cautious and keep intraday swings alive—especially near key supports.
🧾 IPO Updates (New + Ongoing)
Here’s what stood out around 09 Jan 2026:
✅ Newly active / highlighted SME IPOs
Defrail Technologies (SME, BSE SME) opened on Jan 9 (reported IPO details + GMP context).
Indo SMC (SME IPO) scheduled to open Jan 13–15, listing expected Jan 20 (as reported). 👉EconomicTimes
✅ Open IPOs list snapshot (platform view)
Open IPO listings (mainboard/SME) were visible with names like Bharat Coking Coal, Victory Electric Vehicles, etc., along with open/close dates and subscription figures on the tracker page.
(Note: IPO subscriptions change through the day—always verify on exchange/registrar pages before applying.)
💰 Commodity & Currency Wrap (Today’s Reference Levels)
🟡 Gold (India)
Gold prices were reported around ₹138,650 per 10g (24K) (city-wise + MCX-linked reporting).
⚪ Silver (India)
Silver was quoted near ₹2,49,629/kg intraday (MCX tracking).
🛢️ Crude Oil (Global)
Brent was reported around $62.40/bbl in oil-market coverage, driven by supply-disruption concerns.
💱 USD/INR
Rupee was around 90.17 per USD (afternoon market update reference).
🧾 SEBI Updates (What You Should Know)
A meaningful regulator update today: SEBI eased the technical glitch framework for smaller brokers, exempting brokers with fewer than 10,000 clients from certain compliance/reporting requirements; also, glitches not impacting trading activity may be excluded from scrutiny.
Also, SEBI issued a circular extending the timeline related to distributor incentives for onboarding new investors from B-30 cities and women investors (policy continuity angle for MF distribution ecosystem).
⭐ Stock of the Day (For Watchlist)
ONGC (Watchlist pick, not a buy call)
Why it stood out: It featured among the top Nifty gainers on a weak market day, and the broader Oil & Gas pocket showed relative strength.
How to use this: If markets stay choppy, traders often prefer stocks showing strength on red days (relative strength concept).
🧠 Investment Ideas (Short Term vs Long Term)
⏱️ Short Term (1–4 weeks): Stay selective, manage risk
Prefer range-trading around key levels (Nifty ~25,560 support / ~25,875 resistance zone).
Stick to strong-on-weak names (relative strength) and avoid overleveraging when VIX is firm.
🧱 Long Term (6–24 months): Staggered buying beats guessing bottoms
If you’re a long-term investor, focus on SIP-style staggered entries in quality large caps and diversified funds rather than trying to time one perfect day.
Use corrections to upgrade portfolio quality (profitability, cash flows, reasonable valuations).
(No stock here is a recommendation—this is a framework.)
✅ Final Takeaway (KARTALKS View)
Today’s session was clearly risk-off, with foreign selling and weak breadth keeping the market under pressure. But DII support was strong, which is a positive stabilizer.
For the next session, 25,560 on Nifty becomes a clean “line in the sand” for short-term sentiment.
