Sensex Slides 703 Points, Nifty Ends Below 23,850 as Oil Tops $100 After U.S.-Iran Talks Fail

Sensex Slides 703 Points, Nifty Ends Below 23,850 as Oil Tops $100 After U.S.-Iran Talks Fail

Indian equities slipped on Monday, with the Sensex dropping 702.68 points, or 0.91%, to close at 76,847.57. The Nifty 50 retreated 207.95 points, or 0.86%, finishing at 23,842.65. Losses had been deeper earlier in the session, as both indexes briefly fell around 2.1%, after U.S.-Iran discussions broke down over the weekend and crude surged past $100 a barrel. The stakes are clear enough: oil above $100 delivers a sharp blow to India, stirring up inflation fears and putting fresh pressure on the rupee just as companies start reporting fourth-quarter results. The rupee dropped 0.7% to 93.3750 per dollar, marking its sharpest slide in two weeks.

India Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty Slide Toward Correction as Oil Shock Hits Rupee and Banks

India Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty Slide Toward Correction as Oil Shock Hits Rupee and Banks

Indian equities tumbled Monday, with the Sensex and Nifty both shedding roughly 2.2% as of 1:05 p.m. IST, pressured by a sharp spike in crude oil prices that dragged the indexes close to correction levels. The two gauges had earlier slipped to their lowest readings in nearly a year. This is hitting hard right now, with India bringing in over 80% of its crude from abroad. Brent hit $119.50 earlier; the rupee weakened to a record 92.33 against the dollar. The 10-year bond yield? Up near 6.76%. That cocktail is piling pressure on inflation, growth, and the import bill. “The tremors are not limited to stocks alone,” said Sudeep Shah of SBI Securities.

London, Feb 9, 2026, 11:49 GMT — Regular session Oil prices found their footing Monday, with signals from both Washington and Tehran that indirect negotiations would continue. That move helped calm worries over an immediate supply crunch tied to Middle East tensions, even as traders watched India scale back on Russian crude. Brent crude edged up 17 cents to $68.22 a barrel by 1044 GMT, a 0.3% gain; U.S. West Texas Intermediate climbed 18 cents, also 0.3%, to $63.73. “The Iranian risk premium cannot be fully defused as long as U.S. warships are located where they are,” SEB analyst Bjarne Schieldrop said.
