Sensex and Nifty Open Lower Amid Rising Oil Prices and US-Iran Tensions
Indian stock markets opened lower on September 28, 2026, with the Sensex falling over 600 points and the Nifty slipping below 23,000 amid rising crude oil prices and renewed US-Iran tensions. Elevated global bond yields, a weaker rupee, and foreign institutional selling added to market pressures. Despite a slight recovery on the previous Friday, analysts expect continued volatility ahead of month-end contract expiries, with crude oil and geopolitical developments remaining key factors influencing investor sentiment.
