Sensex 16 February 2026 - 14 May 2026

India Stock Market Today: Sensex Jumps 1,000 Points, But Rupee’s Record Low Tests the Rally

India Stock Market Today: Sensex Jumps 1,000 Points, But Rupee’s Record Low Tests the Rally

Indian equities surged on Thursday, snapping a four-day losing streak as the Sensex jumped more than 1,000 points during the session and the Nifty 50 pushed past 23,750. Bargain hunters stepped in, scooping up stocks hit hard in recent sessions. Still, the rupee slipped to yet another record low and crude oil prices stayed stubbornly above $100 a barrel, keeping the rebound on uncertain footing. The shift is notable, with India’s equity market still working to steady itself after the Sensex and Nifty both dropped close to 4% over the last four sessions. That slide came against a backdrop of a softening rupee, pricier oil, and ongoing foreign portfolio outflows—the same pressures haven’t eased.

India Stock Market Today: Sensex Drops 665 Points, Nifty Falls Below 24,150 As Oil Shock Hits Dalal Street

India Stock Market Today: Sensex Drops 665 Points, Nifty Falls Below 24,150 As Oil Shock Hits Dalal Street

Indian equities slid further by Friday afternoon, as the BSE Sensex dropped 665.35 points, or 0.85%, to 77,179.17, while the Nifty 50 shed 186.45 points, or 0.77%, standing at 24,140.20 near 2 p.m. IST. Data from Moneycontrol pointed to a slightly negative market breadth: 1,847 stocks rose, but 1,939 slipped into the red. This selloff stands out, triggered just as crude—a crucial macro threat for India’s import bill—climbed again. Brent crude pushed past the $100 mark after a fresh round of U.S.-Iran hostilities, Reuters noted earlier. Out of 16 major Indian sectors, 11 slipped into the red. “Markets were showing vulnerability to Middle East developments,” said Enrich Money CEO Ponmudi R.

India Stock Market Today: Nifty Holds Green, Sensex Slips as Auto Stocks Ride Oil Relief

India Stock Market Today: Nifty Holds Green, Sensex Slips as Auto Stocks Ride Oil Relief

Indian equities showed a split on Thursday afternoon. The Nifty 50 managed a 0.08% rise to 24,349.30, just as the BSE Sensex slipped 0.03% to 77,936.80. Auto names provided support, counterbalancing pressure in IT and consumer stocks, according to Moneycontrol data. This shift is significant: right now, oil prices are steering sentiment more than company earnings. Brent’s recent slide has offered India—heavily reliant on imported crude—a bit of relief. Not long ago, surging energy prices were fueling concerns around inflation, the rupee, and GDP. Reuters put Brent at $99 a barrel, a 2% dip for the day, with the rupee firming up to 94.2525 against the dollar.

India Stock Market Today: Sensex Erases 600-Point Jump, Nifty Holds 24,000 as Banks Cushion Drag

India Stock Market Today: Sensex Erases 600-Point Jump, Nifty Holds 24,000 as Banks Cushion Drag

Indian stocks lost early steam on Wednesday. The Sensex, after leaping more than 600 points out of the gate, slipped into the red by early afternoon, down 177.82 points, or 0.23%, at 76,846.72 as of 1:00 p.m. The Nifty 50, meanwhile, drifted near the 24,000 mark—off 9.45 points at 24,014.45 at that same hour. Later, NSE data showed the Nifty rebounding a bit, up 45 points to 24,077.80, as of 1:23 p.m. This matters for India because its market is being squeezed by two opposing forces: the lift from cheaper crude and uncertainty over how long that window stays open. Brent slid to around $108 a barrel on renewed U.S.-Iran peace chatter, but profit-takers moved in while the street waited for firmer signals out of Tehran and Washington.

India Stock Market Today: Sensex Slides, Nifty Tests 24,000 as Bank Stocks Stall Rally

India Stock Market Today: Sensex Slides, Nifty Tests 24,000 as Bank Stocks Stall Rally

Indian equities moved lower by afternoon Tuesday, with the Nifty 50 hovering near 24,000 as losses in bank stocks overshadowed gains in energy and metals. By 2 p.m. IST, the Sensex had dropped 358.72 points, or 0.46%, sitting at 76,944.91. The Nifty declined 86 points, or 0.36%, to 24,006.70, according to Moneycontrol. That reversal cut short Monday’s bounce, making clear that investors remained quick to cash out on any rally, with oil prices and tighter bank regs still muddying the short-term outlook. Breadth lagged too: as of 2 p.m., just 1,741 stocks were up, while 2,060 had dropped, according to the report.

India Stock Market Today: Why Sensex Is Down 1,000 Points and Nifty Has Cracked 24,000

India Stock Market Today: Why Sensex Is Down 1,000 Points and Nifty Has Cracked 24,000

Indian stocks slid sharply Friday. The Sensex dropped over 1,000 points, while the Nifty 50 broke under 23,900 midway through the session. Tech names took another hit, and rising oil prices helped flip a tentative start into widespread selling. The drop dragged the market closer to a third loss in a row, threatening to break a two-week winning stretch for both main indexes. By early trade, the Nifty 50 slipped 0.66% to 24,013.75 and the BSE Sensex was off 0.76% at 77,074.63. Notably, every one of the 16 key sectors traded in the red.

Indian Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty 50 Slide as HCLTech Sparks IT Selloff; 24,000 in Focus

Indian Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty 50 Slide as HCLTech Sparks IT Selloff; 24,000 in Focus

Indian equities ended lower Wednesday, breaking a three-day winning streak as HCLTech’s disappointing growth forecast dragged tech names and traders digested jitters around the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The Nifty 50 slipped 0.81% to 24,378.10, with the BSE Sensex down 0.95% at 78,516.49. This shift snapped the market’s brief recovery, refocusing attention on the risk that trouble in one of the benchmark’s largest sectors could ripple out. Banks make up about 35% of the Nifty 50, leaving traders closely tracking whether lenders can hold the index above 24,000 while IT loses ground.

India Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty Reverse Early Rally as Oil Caution Returns

India Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty Reverse Early Rally as Oil Caution Returns

India’s main stock gauges reversed early strength to close down on Thursday, with optimism around fresh U.S.-Iran negotiations evaporating late in the session. The Nifty 50 dipped 0.14% to 24,196.75, and the Sensex gave up 0.16%, ending at 77,988.68. The turnaround is notable, coming off Wednesday’s 1.6% surge that left both indexes at their highest since March 10. Traders continue to weigh whether optimism around peace talks can withstand India’s deep dependence on imported oil—about 90% comes from overseas. March retail inflation sped up to 3.4%, but stayed under the Reserve Bank of India’s 4% target.

MUMBAI, April 9, 2026, 14:56. Late in Thursday’s session, Indian equities slipped, erasing a chunk of gains from the prior rally as oil prices moved higher and tensions resurfaced around the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. By 2:40 p.m. IST, the Sensex had dropped 1,171.65 points, or 1.51%, to 76,391.25. The Nifty 50, meanwhile, was down 269.10 points, or 1.12%, at 23,728.25 at 2:49 p.m. IST.

Sensex Today: Nifty Tops 23,100 as IT Stocks Lift India Shares Ahead of RBI Decision

Sensex Today: Nifty Tops 23,100 as IT Stocks Lift India Shares Ahead of RBI Decision

Indian equities pushed higher Tuesday, the Nifty 50 topping 23,100 while the Sensex climbed roughly 510 points. IT stocks fueled much of the advance as traders positioned ahead of quarterly results. Despite starting the day on a soft note, the rally held, marking a second day of gains. The shift is crucial, with traders staring down two events: the Reserve Bank of India’s policy call due Wednesday, and U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline—5:30 a.m. IST that day—for Iran to strike a deal on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Crude’s sitting near $110 a barrel, threatening to drive up India’s import bill, spur inflation, and put the squeeze on margins.

Sensex Jumps 787 Points, Nifty Near 23,000 as Iran Ceasefire Hopes Lift Indian Stocks

Sensex Jumps 787 Points, Nifty Near 23,000 as Iran Ceasefire Hopes Lift Indian Stocks

Indian equities bounced back hard on Monday, closing up over 1% after early selling gave way to renewed buying as talk of a potential U.S.-Iran ceasefire eased oil prices. That relief prompted investors to snap up banks and consumer stocks. The Sensex finished 787.30 points stronger at 74,106.85. The Nifty 50 climbed 255.15 points, settling at 22,968.25. This shift is significant for India, which relies on imports for over 80% of its crude—Brent fluctuations hit inflation, the rupee, and company expenses fast. The timing coincides with March-quarter business updates: companies are rolling out early sales and loan numbers, offering investors new domestic signals following weeks of oil-fueled volatility.

India Stock Market Today: Nifty 50 Closes Below 23,900, Sensex Slides 1.7% as Oil Volatility Hits Banks

India Stock Market Today: Nifty 50 Closes Below 23,900, Sensex Slides 1.7% as Oil Volatility Hits Banks

Stocks in India tumbled Wednesday, with the Nifty 50 giving up 1.63% to settle at 23,866.85 and the BSE Sensex sliding 1.72% to 76,863.71. Investors unloaded shares as fresh swings in oil and an escalating Middle East crisis rattled sentiment. This hits close to home for India. The country relies on imports for roughly 85% of its crude, making local stocks sensitive when oil prices spike. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s October 2025 monetary policy report, every 10% increase in crude prices could tack on about 30 basis points—0.30 percentage point—to inflation.

India Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty Rebound as Oil Eases After Monday Selloff

Indian equities bounced back on Tuesday, halting a two-day losing streak as oil prices pulled back and investors stepped in following Monday’s steep decline. The NSE Nifty 50 climbed 0.97% to finish at 24,261.60, while the BSE Sensex advanced 0.82%, settling at 78,205.98. Monday’s drop sent the Nifty tumbling to a 10-month closing low, while the Sensex landed at levels last seen 11 months ago. The volatility index, which tracks expected market swings, shot up to a 21-month peak. Oil prices were climbing fast—a headache for India, given its heavy reliance on imported crude.

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.

Mumbai, March 1, 2026, 12:15 — The session wrapped up with the market closed. Stocks in Mumbai started the week after a rough February, with the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 both losing ground. IT names suffered their steepest monthly drop since 2008 on worries that artificial intelligence might put a dent in earnings. By the close on Friday, the Sensex had shed 1.17% to finish at 81,287.19, while the Nifty slipped 1.25% to 25,178.65. For the month, the Sensex retreated 1.2% and the Nifty declined 0.6%. The Nifty IT index plunged 19.5%, even as public-sector lenders and consumer durables saw notable gains over the same period. “There is now a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the profitability and margin outlook for Indian IT companies because of AI,” Saurabh Jain, assistant vice president of retail equities at SMC Global, said.
