Market snapshot

Nifty 5023,431.50-0.86%
Sensex74,764.23-1.08%
Bank Nifty56,295.55-0.85%

Previous close · 9 Sept 2026 · Nifty has fallen for 3 straight sessions — a streak that long has occurred 77 times across the last 1,255 sessions.

In the previous session, Indian markets experienced a strong decline as geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated, following the U.S. military's strike on Iranian oil tankers. These tensions raised concerns about global oil supply disruptions, impacting energy prices and investor sentiment. Additionally, the persistent market downturn over the past five weeks has continued to weigh on investor confidence, with the rupee reaching record lows, further exacerbating economic concerns.
