Sensex and Nifty Fall on Rising Crude Prices and US-Iran Tensions
Indian stock markets opened and closed lower on September 7, 2026, amid rising crude oil prices and escalating US-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. The Sensex fell about 383 points to 76,133, and the Nifty dropped nearly 119 points to 23,779. Elevated oil prices raised inflation and supply disruption concerns, while strong US jobs data increased expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. Sectoral declines were led by IT, metal, and PSU bank stocks, while pharma and healthcare showed resilience. A busy IPO calendar also contributed to cautious investor sentiment.
