Sensex Falls Over 500 Points, Nifty Below 22,500 Amid Oil Price Rise and Fed Uncertainty
Indian equity markets opened lower on October 26, 2026, with the Sensex falling over 500 points and the Nifty slipping below 22,500 amid elevated crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Selling pressure was broad-based, notably impacting IT, financial, and consumer sectors. Investor caution also stemmed from uncertainty ahead of the US Federal Reserve's policy decision. Despite early losses, markets staged a partial recovery later in the day, supported by gains in pharmaceutical, healthcare, and metal stocks. Elevated oil prices and geopolitical risks remain key concerns for market sentiment.
