Stock Market Crash News Highlights Today: Nifty Settles Below 23,100, Sensex Ends 1,200 Points Lower
The Nifty 50 fell to its lowest level in 117 sessions and traded at levels last seen on April 7. The Sensex reached its lowest level in 73 sessions, falling to levels last seen on June 11.
The Nifty 50 settled at 23,063, down 23 points from its provisional close of 23,085.60. The Sensex ended at 73,581, falling a further 139 points from 73,719.83. The Nifty Bank declined 26 points from the provisional close to 55,438, while the Nifty Midcap 150 gained 15 points to settle at 22,470.
The Nifty 50 fell to its lowest level in 117 sessions and traded at levels last seen on April 7, 2026. The Sensex reached its lowest level in 73 sessions, falling to levels last seen on June 11, 2026. The Nifty has lost more than 1,700 points over 37 sessions, while the Sensex has fallen over 5,550 points in 36 sessions.
The moves followed a sharp rise in US Treasury yields and surging oil prices. The 10-year US Treasury yield jumped 15 basis points to 5.11%, its biggest one-day increase since the market turmoil triggered by US President Donald Trump's April 2025 tariff announcement.
Stronger economic data and weak demand at a US government debt auction contributed to the rise in yields. Demand was also weak at a sale of five-year Treasury notes, pushing the yield above 5% for the first time since 2007.
The increase in yields has strengthened expectations of further Federal Reserve interest-rate increases and added pressure across global bond markets. Government bonds in Japan, Australia and New Zealand also fell as the US Treasury selloff spread to other markets.
Oil prices remained elevated but eased after a sharp rise on Wednesday. Brent crude traded below $103 a barrel after gaining almost 4% in the previous session. West Texas Intermediate was near $92, while Brent fell 0.8% to around $102.30 in early Asian trading.
The dollar remained close to its strongest level since late July as investors assessed the changing interest-rate outlook and continued to track developments in energy markets.
Higher bond yields and elevated crude prices remained central to investor focus as markets assessed their implications for inflation and the outlook for US monetary policy.
