thebalanced.newsIndian Stock Markets Decline Amid US-Iran Tensions; Selective Stock Picks Advised
Indian stock markets faced pressure on May 8, 2026, with the Sensex falling 516 points and the Nifty 50 declining 150 points, mainly due to weakness in banking and financial stocks amid escalating US-Iran tensions. Broader markets showed resilience, with midcap and smallcap indices holding steady or rising slightly. Analysts noted mixed signals, with key resistance near 24,300-24,400 and support around 24,000-23,800. Several experts recommended selective stock picks, including Coforge, NBCC, Metropolis Healthcare, Bharat Forge, Timken India, Apollo Hospitals, and Senores Pharma, based on technical trends and sector performance. Market sentiment remains cautious, closely watching geopolitical developments and institutional activity.
