Sensex and Nifty Open Higher Amid Crude Oil Concerns and US-Iran Tensions
Indian stock markets opened higher on August 24, 2026, with Sensex rising over 200 points and Nifty crossing 24,300, supported by positive GIFT Nifty futures. Despite gains, investor sentiment remained cautious due to elevated crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions involving the US and Iran, with fresh sanctions expected. Asian markets showed mixed trends amid global bond yield concerns. Domestic institutional investors continued buying, while foreign investors remained net sellers. Sectoral gains were led by IT and metals, while pharma declined, with market volatility easing slightly.
