The Indian stock market witnessed a volatile trading session today as benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty erased early losses and traded flat by mid-session. While heavy selling pressure was seen in IT stocks, strong buying in metal and energy sectors helped markets stabilize.
At the start of the trading day, both Sensex and Nifty opened on a weak note due to global uncertainties and profit booking in technology stocks. However, as the session progressed, selective buying in heavyweight stocks helped the indices recover.
Nifty IT Index fell sharply by 5%, emerging as the worst-performing sector.
On the other hand, Nifty Metal, Infra, Oil & Gas, and Energy indices gained around 1% each.
Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices traded flat, indicating a cautious approach among retail investors.
This sectoral divergence clearly shows that while technology stocks remain under pressure, cyclical sectors are attracting investor interest.
Some of the major gainers that supported the market recovery included:
Power Grid Corporation
Tata Steel
Coal India
ONGC
NTPC
Strong momentum in metal and PSU stocks helped counterbalance the fall in IT giants.

The technology sector remained under intense selling pressure. Key IT stocks that witnessed sharp declines were:
HCL Technologies
Infosys
Tech Mahindra
Wipro
TCS
Concerns over global IT spending, weak guidance, and profit booking led to heavy correction in this segment.
