Sensex today | Stock Market Highlights: Sensex rises 138 pts, Nifty closes at 23,477 as crude oil surge, geopolitical tensions weigh on sentiment
Sensex, Nifty, Stock Price Highlights: Indian equity markets closed marginally higher on Thursday, with benchmark indices ‘eking out gains’ despite Brent crude oil prices climbing to around $102 per barrel, as investors remained cautious amid geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns.
On September 10, 2026, the Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex rose by 138 points, while the Nifty 50 index closed at 23,477.8. This upward movement was attributed to a surge in crude oil prices, which climbed more than 1.2% to trade around USD 102 per barrel. Geopolitical tensions, particularly the intensifying US-Iran war, cast a shadow over market sentiment.
The rupee slipped 0.35% against the US dollar, hitting 95.44.
