Sensex and Nifty Open Lower Amid Elevated Oil Prices and Geopolitical Concerns, Rebound Follows
Indian equity markets opened lower on October 26 and 27, 2026, amid elevated crude oil prices near $115 per barrel and geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The BSE Sensex fell over 500 points early on October 26 but recovered to close around 73,600, while the NSE Nifty 50 rebounded above 22,750 after snapping a four-day losing streak. Sectoral performance was mixed, with gains in metals, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare offset by weakness in IT, banking, and consumer stocks. Investors remained cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve's policy decision and monitored global market cues and domestic earnings.
