Stock Markets News as on 27th May, 2026
Indian stock market performance today on 27 May 2026 ended on a cautious note, with benchmark indices closing slightly lower after a range-bound session. The BSE Sensex closed at 75,867.80, down 142 points or 0.19%, while the Nifty 50 ended at 23,907.15, down 6.55 points or 0.03%. Weakness in heavyweights limited any meaningful upside, even as several sectors showed resilience during the day.
Market Closing Update
The closing trend showed that the market stayed under pressure for most of the session, but losses were relatively contained. Banking and oil-linked counters stayed soft, while metal and power names offered support. This created a mixed market structure, where selective buying offset deeper selling in key index stocks.
What Supported The Market
According to the image, Hindalco was the strongest positive contributor with 14.41, followed by Eternal at 9.99, NTPC at 8.73, Tata Steel at 7.58, and Power Grid Corp at 7.51. These stocks helped support the indices, especially from the metal, power, and consumer segments. Their gains helped reduce the pressure created by large-cap losers.
What Dragged The Market
The biggest drag came from HDFC Bank, which contributed -67.45, making it the main weight on the indices. It was followed by ITC at -20.33, ONGC at -11.38, ICICI Bank at -9.98, and Reliance at -8.53. Weakness in financials, energy, and FMCG stocks kept the broader market from turning positive.
