Sensex and Nifty Fall on Rising Oil, Rebound After US Fed Holds Rates Steady
Indian equity markets saw volatility on October 28-29, 2026, with the Sensex and Nifty initially declining due to selling in Reliance Industries and IT stocks amid rising crude oil prices and caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve's policy decision. Jio Platforms made a strong market debut, becoming India's second most valuable firm. Following the Fed's decision to hold rates steady, markets rebounded sharply on October 29, led by gains in banking, FMCG, and IT sectors, supported by foreign inflows and easing crude prices. Despite positive momentum, concerns over elevated oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and inflation risks persisted.
