Any upward movement could face strong resistance at 25950-26000 levels.Dr.
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, “The trend of weakening AI trade is gathering pace in the U.S.
market.
This trend is likely to continue in early 2026, and this will favour non-AI markets like India.
An interesting takeaway from yesterday’s trade is that despite FII buying and net institutional buying the market drifted down.
The reason might be the FIIs increasing their short positions in the market. This means, in the near-term, FIIs will resort to a sell on rally strategy.” US stock markets finished lower on Wednesday, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching three-week lows as concerns over AI-related stocks impacted the technology sector.Asian equities started lower, following US market decline as global sentiment turned risk-averse with technology concerns affecting stocks while supporting short-term Treasuries and precious metals.Foreign portfolio investors disposed of shares valued at Rs 1,172 crore on Wednesday.
