Sensex, Nifty Fall Again Today as Oil Holds Above $100 and HSBC Cuts India to Underweight

Sensex, Nifty Fall Again Today as Oil Holds Above $100 and HSBC Cuts India to Underweight

Indian stocks slipped further Thursday. By 1:02 p.m. IST, the Nifty 50 sat at 24,207.25, while the BSE Sensex registered 77,799.23. Oil prices stubbornly held above $100 a barrel, and HSBC’s downgrade of Indian equities to “underweight” added pressure. Both indices shed nearly 1% on Wednesday. Crude took center stage, but nerves were on edge well before that. HCLTech’s dimmer full-year growth view sent tech shares sliding Wednesday. “Weaker commentary on demand and near-term growth visibility” is muddying the sector’s profit outlook, according to Bajaj Broking’s Shashwat Singh.
Bitcoin Price Today: BTC Holds $70,000 as ETF Inflows Clash With Oil Shock

Bitcoin Price Today: BTC Holds $70,000 as ETF Inflows Clash With Oil Shock

Bitcoin stayed near the $70,000 mark Thursday, shrugging off fresh oil strength—crude approaching $100 a barrel—and Wall Street’s latest pullback triggered by rising Middle East tensions. The largest cryptocurrency recently traded at $70,323, off 0.7% for the day, after dipping to $69,240 earlier. Bitcoin’s cleared $70,000 again — a sharp turnaround from the early February slide that knocked it down to a 16-month low near $60,000. The timing’s notable: demand from U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, which actually own bitcoin, has started to accelerate. Still, the rally’s running into some stiff headwinds: oil prices are climbing, the dollar’s strengthening, and markets have all but abandoned dreams of rapid Fed rate cuts.

Silver price today: Spot jumps above $80 as haven demand returns ahead of U.S. inflation data

London, February 20, 2026, 11:14 GMT — Regular session Silver surged almost 3% in European trading Friday, clearing the $80 mark as bullion prices caught a tailwind from lower U.S. yields and fresh anxiety over U.S.-Iran friction. Spot silver was last up 2.8% at $80.57 an ounce at 0941 GMT. Gold tacked on 0.7% to $5,032.49. Platinum and palladium moved up roughly 2.3% apiece. “Yields are down, reducing the opportunity cost of holding bullion,” noted Peter Fertig, analyst at Quantitative Commodity Research.

Tokyo Stock Market Today: Nikkei 225 Edges Higher as Stable Yen Offsets SoftBank Slump Ahead of BoJ Rate Decision

Tokyo’s stock market finished Monday, 8 December 2025, slightly higher, as a pause in recent yen strength and a rebound in property stocks outweighed a sharp fall in heavyweight SoftBank Group. The move came despite a surprisingly weak GDP revision and rising expectations that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates at its meeting later this month. TradingView+1 On Monday, the Nikkei 225 inched higher to about 50,581.94, gaining roughly 0.2% compared with Friday’s close. The Topix broad market index did better, rising around 0.7% to approximately 3,384.31, reflecting stronger breadth across sectors beyond the handful of mega‑caps that dominate the Nikkei.
