Sensex today | Stock Market Live: Gift Nifty signals muted start amid rising oil prices; Q1 earnings to stay in focus
Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices Live: GIFT Nifty futures were at 24,653 points, as of 7:50 am IST, indicating a muted start for the Nifty 50, which closed at 24,636 on Thursday.
On August 7, 2026, Indian stocks opened steadily as investors monitored developments in the Middle East and awaited Q1 earnings. Brent crude futures surged above $83 a barrel due to fears of restricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz after Iran proposed restrictions on vessels deemed hostile. State Bank of India, Titan Company, and Hindalco were set to report quarterly results later in the day.
The Nifty 50 ended at 24,636, up 0.05%, while the Sensex closed at 78,954.76, up 0.48%. The two benchmarks showed a 43-basis point gap that has persisted for four consecutive sessions since the NSE introduced its Closing Auction Session on August 3.
