  • Sensex Drops Nearly 800 Points as Oil Prices Rebound and Iran-US Ceasefire Concerns Return
    April 9, 2026, 1:04 AM EDT. The BSE Sensex slumped 794.65 points (1.02%) to 76,768.25, while the Nifty 50 fell 196.55 points (0.82%) to 23,800.80 on Thursday. Gains from the previous session's relief rally, sparked by a temporary Iran-US ceasefire and falling crude oil prices, reversed sharply. The rebound in crude oil prices renewed inflation fears, pressured the rupee and corporate margins, dampening investor sentiment. Analysts noted the ceasefire remains fragile and the market's recovery vulnerable if oil prices spike again. Heavyweight stocks including HDFC Bank, Infosys, and Reliance Industries dragged the indices down. The decline underscores continued volatility driven by geopolitical risks and oil price fluctuations, with markets reacting to headlines rather than fundamentals.
