Sensex and Nifty Open Higher Amid Easing Oil Prices but Close Lower on Global Concerns
Indian stock markets opened higher on October 12, 2026, supported by easing crude oil prices and measures by the Reserve Bank of India to stabilize the rupee. The Sensex rose around 300 points early, with gains in sectors like media, auto, and chemicals. However, persistent foreign investor selling, elevated US bond yields, and geopolitical tensions, especially in the Middle East, weighed on sentiment, leading to a late-session decline. Market experts described the recent rebound as a relief rally amid ongoing volatility and uncertainty ahead of key inflation data and earnings reports.
