Nifty & Sensex — 01 Sep 2026
Pre-Market
Section titled “Pre-Market”Markets Data
Section titled “Markets Data”Markets face bearish pressure today with a short bias, as rising US yields and dollar strength weigh on risk appetite. While overnight tech gains abroad provide some offset, domestic institutional buying remains outmatched by foreign outflows. Crude's surge and rupee weakness add to inflationary concerns, with the previous close already near session lows suggesting fragile support levels. The volatility drop offers limited comfort given the broader negative catalysts at play.

Indian equities closed lower after failing to hold early gains, with both benchmark indices declining over half a percent. The session saw volatility as markets initially extended their winning streak before succumbing to global pressures from rising oil prices and bond yield movements. While domestic factors like earnings expectations provided some support, broader risk-off sentiment ultimately dominated trading.
