Top developments
Benchmark Indices Snap Three-Day Losing Streak
On September 10, the Indian stock market closed in the green, with the Sensex rising 138 points to settle at 76,515.43 and the Nifty 50 settling above 23,450. This recovery came after the benchmarks snapped a three-day losing streak, driven by media, PSU bank, and private bank shares advancing. The positive close helped stabilize sentiment following the previous day's sharp decline, where the Sensex had crashed 813 points to 74,764 and the Nifty fell 203 points to 23,431.
Crude Oil Surge Triggers Mid-Week Sell-Off
The primary driver of volatility this week was the surge in crude oil prices, which crossed $100 per barrel amid escalating hostilities in the Middle East. This energy shock led to a three-month low for the Nifty on September 9, with IT stocks being the worst hit; Infosys, HCL Technologies, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro were among the biggest laggards. Conversely, Adani Enterprises, Max Healthcare, and Tata Steel emerged as top gainers during that session.
IPO Market Breaks Records with ₹1 Lakh Crore Projection
The Indian IPO market is experiencing unprecedented activity, with fundraising projected to exceed ₹1 lakh crore in 2026. On September 9, six companies launched share sales, marking the most IPOs opening on a single day in at least three decades. In total, 10 IPOs were open for subscription on that date, seeking nearly ₹6,950 crore. Bloomberg noted that first-day gains are swelling as investors pile into newly listed stocks, signaling strong domestic demand despite broader market volatility.
