Previous close · 15 Sept 2026 · Nifty is trading at the 20th percentile of its range over the last 252 sessions.
In the previous session, the Indian stock market saw a significant downturn driven by mounting geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The U.S. strike on Iranian oil tankers and subsequent threats from Iran to target Gulf ports heightened concerns, potentially disrupting oil supplies and affecting global energy prices. This geopolitical unrest led to a broad sell-off, particularly impacting sectors sensitive to oil price fluctuations. Meanwhile, the IT sector was a rare bright spot, with major tech firms like HCLTECH, INFY, and TCS gaining strongly, likely buoyed by sector-specific news such as TCS's strategic partnership with Aareal Bank.
