Nifty Slips to 5-Session Low as IT Stocks Drag the Index

Nifty extended its losing streak to a fifth consecutive session today, slipping to its lowest level since 31 July 2026. Nifty IT emerged as the top-losing sector, down up to 1.83% till 12:25 PM, dragging the broader index. Infosys [

] and HCLTech were the top two losers within the IT pack among Nifty-50 constituents. The sustained selling in IT heavyweights, despite a largely stable broader market backdrop, suggests sector-specific pressure — likely linked to demand concerns or currency/margin worries rather than a broad risk-off move. Takeaway: A five-session losing streak with IT as the key drag warrants watching for stabilization signs in IT majors before assuming broader index weakness. 📌 Disclaimer: This content is for information only and not investment advice.
