Markets trade flat in early deals amid elevated crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions
Indian stock markets traded flat as investors reacted to elevated crude oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Analysts suggest that global macroeconomic pressures, including rising U.S. Treasury yields, are dampening risk appetite for emerging market equities.
Why it matters
Market volatility in India reflects broader global economic anxieties regarding energy costs and geopolitical instability.
Market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty were trading on a flat note in early deals on Thursday (September 10, 2026) as elevated crude oil prices above $100-per-barrel mark, amid persistent geopolitical tensions, kept risk appetite subdued.
The 30-share BSE Sensex was marginally up 38.07 points to 74,809.95 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty advanced 9.85 points to 23,439.20.
Among the 30 Sensex firms, Tech Mahindra, Axis Bank, State Bank of India, Power Grid, ITC and Infosys were the winners.
Mahindra & Mahindra, Adani Ports, Reliance Industries, Sun Pharma, InterGlobe Aviation and Bharat Electronics were among the laggards.
Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, traded 0.20% lower at $101-per-barrel.
