Previous close · 27 Aug 2026 · Nifty is trading at the 44th percentile of its range over the last 252 sessions.
In the previous session, Indian markets experienced a modest decline with narrow breadth. A key factor was the US lawsuit against HDFC Bank, which led to a notable drop in its share price, affecting overall market dynamics. Global geopolitical tensions also played a role, particularly with the US nearing a deal to secure Venezuelan oil fields and escalating economic pressure on Iran. These developments contributed to uncertainty in the energy and banking sectors.
