Stock Market Live Updates: Sensex, Nifty open lower amid global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian benchmark indices, the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty, opened on a weak note on Monday, pressured by mixed global cues and geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The Sensex fell 365.07 points to 85,206.78, while the Nifty slipped 87.55 points to 26,091.40 in early trade. Analysts attributed the dip to global uncertainties, including rate hike concerns, and geopolitical tensions involving Israel, Lebanon, and Iran. Japan’s Nikkei slumped over 4%, while Korean and Taiwanese markets also fell. Meanwhile, Chinese markets surged after Beijing introduced measures to support its struggling economy. Last week, both the Sensex and Nifty hit record highs due to strong foreign portfolio inflows. Analysts expect domestic economic data and geopolitical developments to shape the market’s performance in the holiday-shortened week, with sector rotation and FPI flows likely to influence future gains.
