Sensex and Nifty Open Higher Amid Crude Oil Easing and Geopolitical Tensions
Indian stock markets opened higher on August 24, 2026, with Sensex gaining over 200 points and Nifty crossing the 24,300 mark, supported by blue-chip buying and easing crude oil prices. However, gains were limited due to persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly US-Iran sanctions, and elevated global bond yields. Sectoral performance was mixed, with metal and IT stocks outperforming while banking and financial sectors faced selling pressure. Investors remained cautious amid uncertainty over fresh US sanctions on Iran and global market volatility.
