Nifty & Sensex — 30 Sep 2026
Pre-Market
Section titled “Pre-Market”Markets Data
Section titled “Markets Data”Markets face downward pressure today with negative overnight cues from US indices and rising Treasury yields. The dollar's strength and FII outflows further weigh on sentiment, while DII buying provides limited support. With Brent crude falling sharply and India VIX edging up slightly, traders may adopt a short bias amid normal conviction. Previous session's close in the bottom third of its range suggests weak follow-through potential.

Indian equities closed lower as early gains evaporated, with both Nifty and Sensex declining over 1.5%. The session saw volatile swings despite initial optimism from a sharp drop in the fear index, as foreign investor withdrawals and mixed corporate earnings expectations weighed on sentiment. While some stocks benefited from brokerage upgrades, broader indices failed to sustain momentum amid global currency fluctuations and domestic promoter selling activity.
