Stock markets succumb to late sell-off; Sensex falls 114 points

admin — Tue, 19 May 2026 13:27:00 +0000

Equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty ended lower on Tuesday (May 19, 2026) due to a fag-end sell-off in blue-chip stocks HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries, as concerns rose over the Rupee hitting a new record low.

Elevated global crude prices tracking geopolitical uncertainties also impacted market sentiment, but robust buying in IT stocks restricted the fall in indices, traders said.

After remaining in the positive territory for the most part of the session, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex suddenly came under selling pressure towards the end, declining 114.19 points, or 0.15%, to settle at 75,200.85.

During the day, it surged 431.23 points, or 0.57%, to 75,746.27 after U.S. President Donald Trump said he had halted fresh strikes on Iran at the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, asserting that serious discussions were under way with Tehran that could lead to an acceptable deal. The 50-share NSE Nifty dipped 31.95 points, or 0.14%, to end at 23,618.

“IT stocks stood as a notable exception, registering robust advances on the back of anticipated tailwinds from an accelerating rupee depreciation and compelling valuations,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

From the Sensex firms, Kotak Mahindra Bank, UltraTech Cement, Titan, Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel and Sun Pharma were among the biggest laggards. Infosys, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, Eternal and Tata Consultancy Services were among the major winners.

“Despite a powerful rally in IT stocks and supportive global cues during the first half, benchmark indices failed to sustain higher levels as rising currency concerns, elevated crude oil prices, and aggressive derivative unwinding dragged the market lower into the close,” K. Hariprasad, Research Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth, said.

The BSE SmallCap Select index jumped 1.39%, and the MidCap Select index went up by 0.93%.

Among sectoral indices, BSE Top 10 Banks declined 0.55%, Private Banks index (0.54%), Services (0.30%), Metal (90.26%) and Telecommunication (0.21%). Focused IT jumped 3.25%, IT (3.22%), Realty (1.35%), Utilities (0.67%) and Consumer Discretionary (0.60%).

Meanwhile, the rupee slipped to a record low of 96.60 against the US dollar before settling at 96.52 (provisional) on Tuesday (May 19, 2026). Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, traded 1.80% lower at $110 per barrel.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth ₹2,813.69 crore on Monday (May 18, 2026), according to exchange data.

The majority of Adani Group stocks ended higher after the U.S. Department of Justice permanently dropped all criminal charges against business tycoon Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar, bringing a high-profile securities and wire fraud case in New York to a complete close after prosecutors concluded they could not sustain the allegations.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s benchmark Kospi and Japan’s Nikkei 225 index ended lower, while Shanghai’s Stock Exchange (SSE) Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index settled higher. Markets in Europe were trading in positive territory.

“The biggest pressure point remained the continued collapse in the Indian rupee alongside persistently elevated crude oil prices,” he added.

U.S. markets ended on a mixed note on Monday (May 18, 2026). Mr. Trump had made the announcement on Truth Social on Monday (May 18, 2026) late afternoon.

“I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to hold off on our planned Military attack of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday (May 19, 2026)),” Mr. Trump said.

“We were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow. I’ve put it off for a little while, hopefully, maybe forever, but possibly for a little while, because we’ve had very big discussions with Iran and we’ll see what they amount to,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House.

In the previous session on Monday (May 18, 2026), the BSE benchmark increased by 77.05 points, or 0.10%, to settle at 75,315.04. The Nifty edged higher by 6.45 points, or 0.03%, to end at 23,649.95.

Sensex jumps nearly 790 points on buying in telecom, banking shares

admin — Thu, 14 May 2026 13:02:00 +0000

Stock markets rose for the second consecutive day on Thursday (May 14, 2026) with the benchmark Sensex jumping by nearly 790 points in a volatile session, driven by value buying in telecom, pharma and private banking shares.

The 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex jumped 789.74 points, or 1.06%, to close at 75,398.72. The index opened higher but slipped into negative territory in late morning deals. However, value buying in telecom and banking shares helped the barometer pare losses and later jump more than 1,000 points to a high of 75,681.88.

Extending gains to the second day, the 50-share National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE) Nifty climbed 277 points, or 1.18%, to finish at 23,689.60.

Among Sensex firms, Bharti Airtel emerged as the biggest gainer, rallying over 5% after the telecom carrier’s annual revenue crossed the ₹2 lakh crore mark for the first time.

Eternal rose by 3.32% while HDFC Bank advanced 2.67%, emerging as the major contributor to the Sensex gains. Adani Ports, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Bajaj Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra, NTPC, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Titan, Trent, UltraTech Cement, ITC and State Bank of India were among the other gainers.

On the other hand, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies, Tata Consultancy Services, Hindustan Unilever, Axis Bank and Maruti Suzuki India ended lower.

“Indian equities staged a counterintuitive recovery from intraday lows and ended higher despite the rupee hitting a record low and crude remaining elevated,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd., said.

Investor confidence was bolstered in anticipation of potential government measures to mitigate INR weakness, including consideration of bond tax relief for foreign investors and potential tightening of the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS) to stem capital outflows, he added.

“Sentiment was further anchored by positive cues from the Trump-Xi summit, which raised hopes of expanding economic cooperation.

“Sectorally, while pharma and healthcare advanced owing to sectoral rotation, metals gained on higher metal prices and improving demand expectations from China. Conversely, the IT stocks extended their decline,” Mr. Nair said.

In Asian markets, ShanghaiStock Exchange (SSE) Composite index and Japan’s Nikkei 225 benchmark ended lower, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng settled flat. However, South Korea’s Kospi closed higher.

European equity markets traded in positive territory. Wall Street ended mostly higher on Wednesday (May 13, 2026).

Brent Crude, the global oil benchmark, rose nearly 1% to $106.48 per barrel.

The rupee fell to a low of 95.73 against the US dollar due to high crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth ₹4,703.15 crore on Wednesday (May 13, 2026), while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) purchased stocks for ₹5,869.05 crore, according to exchange data.

On Wednesday (May 13, 2026), the 30-share BSE Sensex rose 49.74 points to settle at 74,608.98. The 50-share NSE edged higher by 33.05 points to end at 23,412.60.

Stock markets rally as oil prices decline amid progress in U.S.-Iran talks; Sensex jumps 940 points

admin — Wed, 06 May 2026 10:58:00 +0000

Benchmark Sensex rallied by 940 points on Wednesday (May 6, 2026) following a sharp decline in crude oil prices after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed progress in negotiations with Iran towards an agreement to end the war.

Helped by fag-end heavy buying, the 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 940.73 points, or 1.22%, to settle at 77,958.52. During the day, it surged 1,004.99 points, or 1.30%, to a day’s high of 78,022.78.

The 50-share NSE Nifty rallied 298.15 points, or 1.24%, to end at 24,330.95.

A positive trend in global markets aided the rally in domestic stocks.

From the 30-Sensex firms, InterGlobe Aviation, Trent, Asian Paints, State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and Eternal were among the major winners.

Reliance Industries, Larsen & Toubro, Power Grid and NTPC were among the laggards.

U.S. President Donald Trump has suspended “Project Freedom,” to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming progress in negotiations with Iran towards an agreement to end the war.

In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday (May 5, 2026), Mr. Trump said, “Great progress has been made toward a complete and final agreement with representatives of Iran.”

“Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalised and signed,” Mr. Trump said.

Project Freedom was launched on Monday (May 4, 2026) to escort ships, stranded due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, to safety.

Mr. Trump’s statement on Truth Social came hours after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Operation Epic Fury, launched on February 28, had concluded as its objectives had been achieved.

“Operation Epic Fury is concluded. We achieved the objectives of that operation. We’re not cheering for an additional situation to occur. We would prefer the path of peace. What @POTUS would prefer is a deal… that is, so far, not the route that Iran has chosen,” Mr. Rubio told a press conference at the White House on Tuesday (May 5, 2026).

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, tumbled 8% to $101.1 per barrel.

“The trigger was largely global — renewed optimism around a potential U.S.–Iran peace deal led to a sharp decline in crude oil prices, offering immediate relief to an import-heavy economy like India,” K. Hariprasad, Research Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth, said.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s benchmark Kospi, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index ended higher. Kospi surged over 6%.

Markets in Europe were trading sharply higher. U.S. markets ended in positive territory on Tuesday (May 5, 2026).

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹3,621.58 crore on Tuesday (May 5, 2026), according to exchange data.

On Tuesday (May 5, 2026), the Sensex dropped 251.61 points or 0.33% to settle at 77,017.79. The Nifty edged lower by 86.50 points or 0.36% to end at 24,032.80.

Stock markets decline as renewed geopolitical concerns weigh on investor sentiment

admin — Tue, 05 May 2026 12:28:00 +0000

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty buckled under selling pressure on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) as fresh tensions flared in the Strait of Hormuz region and the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran came under strain.

The rupee hitting a record low against the U.S. dollar amid elevated crude prices also made investors cautious.

In a volatile session, the 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 251.61 points, or 0.33%, to settle at 77,017.79. During the day, it tanked 754.37 points, or 0.97 per cent, to 76,515.03.

The 50-share NSE Nifty edged lower by 86.50 points, or 0.36%, to end at 24,032.80.

“Domestic equities witnessed a volatile session, closing lower as post-election optimism faded and sentiment re-aligned with global weakness amid rising geopolitical tensions.

“Elevated crude prices continued to pressure the rupee, which slipped to record lows. Despite these headwinds, the ongoing earnings season, with results slightly ahead of expectations, provided some support and triggered selective bottom-fishing,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

From the Sensex firms, ICICI Bank, Eternal, Tech Mahindra, Axis Bank, Bharti Airtel and Larsen & Toubro were among the major laggards.

On the other hand, Mahindra & Mahindra, UltraTech Cement, Bajaj Finserv and Bajaj Finance were top gainers.

In the broader market, the BSE MidCap Select index dipped 0.12 per cent, while the SmallCap Select index went up marginally by 0.14%.

Sectorally, Realty dropped 1.38 per cent, Top 10 Banks (0.79%), Services (0.63%), Consumer Durables (0.62%), Private Banks (0.60%) and Bankex (0.58%).

In contrast, Power, FMCG, Commodities, Healthcare, IT, Telecommunication, Utilities, Auto, Capital Goods, Focused IT and MidSmall Private Banks Quality Tilt were the gainers.

“On Tuesday, Indian markets came under pressure amid escalating tensions in West Asia and the rupee hitting all-time lows. Iran intensified attacks in the Middle East, targeting critical energy infrastructure in the UAE, raising concerns over supply disruptions,” Siddhartha Khemka – Head of Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said.

On the political front, the outcome of multiple State elections is expected to be viewed positively by the market, he said.

“These results carry longer-term implications for economic growth across the involved states, particularly in West Bengal, where structural changes could unfold over time,” Mr. Khemka added.

Drone strikes caused a fire at a major oil industry zone in the United Arab Emirates’ port city of Fujairah on Monday (May 4). The UAE had accused Iran of carrying out the strike.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, traded around the $113 per barrel mark.

Meanwhile, the rupee slipped 2 paise to an all-time low of 95.25 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday (May 5, 2026).

Markets were closed in South Korea, Japan and mainland China. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index ended lower.

Markets in Europe were trading mostly higher. U.S. markets ended lower on Monday (May 4, 2026).

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned buyers on Monday (May 4, 2026), buying equities worth ₹2,835.62 crore, according to exchange data.

Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled over 1% on Friday (April 24, 2026), falling for the third consecutive day, as a sharp rally in crude prices and massive selling in IT counters weighed heavily on investors’ sentiment.

Unabated foreign fund outflows, a negative trend in global markets amid prolonged conflict and continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz added to the gloom.

The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 999.79 points, or 1.29%, to settle at 76,664.21. During the day, it plunged 1,260.13 points or 1.62% to 76,403.87.

The wider gauge NSE Nifty slumped 275.10 points, or 1.14%, to end at 23,897.95.

“Indian equity markets extended their decline for a third consecutive session, as renewed risk-off sentiment weighed on investor confidence. Ongoing tensions in West Asia, coupled with persistent weakness in the IT sector, continued to pressure an already fragile market backdrop.

“Volatility also increased, with the India VIX rising 6%, reflecting heightened fear and uncertainty amid the prolonged conflict and continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, with no meaningful signs of de-escalation,” Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm, said.

From the Sensex constituents, Infosys dived 7.09% after its revenue growth forecast for FY27 came in lower than market expectations.

HCL Tech, Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, Sun Pharma, Asian Paints and ICICI Bank were also among the major laggards.

Trent, Bajaj Finance, State Bank of India, HDFC Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank were the winners.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, traded 2.17% higher at $107.3 per barrel.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹3,254.71 crore on Thursday (April 23), according to exchange data.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s benchmark Kospi and Shanghai’s SSE Composite index ended lower, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng settled higher.

Markets in Europe were trading lower in afternoon trade.

U.S. markets ended lower on Thursday (April 23).

“The Indian equity market extended its profit-booking streak, pressured by heightening geopolitical tensions in West Asia, a sharp rally in crude oil prices, and a weakening rupee. IT stocks led the decline following disappointing quarterly earnings, while selling pressure was broad-based across sectors. FIIs returned to net selling again after a brief spell of inflows,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

On Thursday (April 23), the Sensex tumbled 852.49 points or 1.09% to settle at 77,664. The Nifty dropped 205.05 points or 0.84% to end at 24,173.05.

Stock market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tanked over 1% on Tuesday (January 20, 2026) due to heavy selling pressure in market heavyweights Reliance, Bajaj Finance and M&M amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

Besides, ongoing weakness in the rupee and persistent foreign fund outflows dented investors’ sentiment.

Extending its previous day’s decline, the 30-share BSE Sensex tumbled 1,065.71 points, or 1.28%, to settle at 82,180.47. During the day, it dropped 1,235.6 points, or 1.48%, to 82,010.58.

The 50-share NSE Nifty tanked 353 points, or 1.38%, to end at 25,232.50.

From the 30-Sensex firms, Eternal declined by 4.0%, followed by Bajaj Finance (3.88%), Sun Pharma, InterGlobe Aviation, Trent, Asian Paints, Mahindra & Mahindra and Bajaj Finserv.

HDFC Bank emerged as the only gainer from the pack.

Foreign institutional investors offloaded equities worth ₹3,262.82 crore on Monday (January 19, 2026), while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) remained buyers as they bought stocks worth ₹4,234.30 crore, according to exchange data.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi index, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index settled lower.

Markets in Europe were trading over 1% lower. U.S. markets were closed on Monday (January 19, 2026) for a holiday.

“The aggressive and often unpredictable use of tariffs by the U.S. administration as a foreign policy tool is creating widespread unease among global market participants, triggering sharp volatility across financial markets. This has weighed heavily on risk assets while pushing safe-haven gold and silver prices higher.

“Fresh threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose additional tariffs on European nations opposing the U.S. move to take control of Greenland have triggered another bout of global equity selling, with Indian markets also witnessing broad-based pressure,” R. Ponmudi, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm, said.

The Indian equity market ended today’s session on a decisively negative note, reflecting a combination of weak global cues, cautious investor positioning, and subdued risk appetite, he added.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, went up by 0.09% to $63.91 per barrel.

On Monday (January 19, 2026), the Sensex declined 324.17 points or 0.39% to settle at 83,246.18. The Nifty dropped 108.85 points or 0.42% to 25,585.50.

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty declined in early trade on Monday (January 12, 2026) as persistent foreign fund outflows, concerns over further US tariffs on Indian exports and geopolitical overhangs dent investors’ sentiment.

The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 455.35 points to 83,120.89 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty tanked 135.35 points to 25,547.95.

From the 30-Sensex firms, Bharat Electronics, Larsen and Toubro, Eternal, Power Grid, Adani Ports, Infosys, Reliance Industries and Bajaj Finance were among the biggest laggards.

However, Hindustan Unilever, Asian Paints, Axis Bank and State Bank of India were among the gainers.

Foreign institutional investors offloaded equities worth ₹3,769.31 crore on Friday (January 9), while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹5,595.84 crore, according to exchange data.

“Indian equity markets begin the week on a cautious footing as risk appetite remains restrained amid lingering global uncertainty, continued FII outflows, and geopolitical overhangs. Recent profit-booking across sectors has added to near-term pressure, keeping sentiment defensive,” Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm, said.

In the past five trading days, the BSE benchmark declined 2,185.77 points or 2.54%, and the Nifty tumbled 645.25 points or 2.45%.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi index, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index traded higher.

U.S. markets ended in positive territory on Friday.

“The market has turned distinctly weak, weighed down by a series of India-specific and global geopolitical events. Geopolitical developments in Venezuela, the crisis in Iran and Trump’s threats regarding Greenland are also being viewed by the markets with concern,” V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said.
