    July 17, 2026, 12:37 AM EDT. Indian shares opened higher on July 17, with the Sensex advancing 444.89 points (0.58%) to 77,631.76 and the Nifty gaining 116.10 points (0.48%) to 24,188.85. IT shares were the primary drivers, lifting the Nifty IT index by 1.89%, while pharma and healthcare sectors lagged. Infosys, Tech Mahindra, TCS, and Reliance emerged as major gainers on the BSE. In commodities, Brent crude futures climbed 1.25% to $85.28 per barrel amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions, raising domestic inflation risks. Analysts pointed to the 23,800-23,900 zone as a key consolidation area for the Nifty, with a breakout above 24,150 seen as a trigger for further upside. Market volatility is likely to persist as the earnings season unfolds and international factors continue to guide sentiment.
