Stock Market Live, October 15, 2026: Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 are likely to remain under pressure on Thursday, tracking weak global cues, escalating Middle East tensions, persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) selling, elevated crude oil prices and hotter-than-expected US inflation data.

Overnight, US markets ended lower after hotter-than-expected September inflation data heightened concerns over the interest-rate outlook. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.88%, the S&P 500 declined 1.11%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 0.09%.
Crude Oil Prices Today
Brent crude traded near $106 per barrel on Thursday, holding recent gains as escalating hostilities in the Middle East and Eastern Europe heightened concerns over supply disruptions.
A container ship sank in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday after being struck by unidentified projectiles, while Iran-backed Houthi forces continued missile and drone attacks across Saudi Arabia. More oil tankers are avoiding their usual crude-loading areas, signalling disruptions to export operations amid increased Iranian attacks on shipping.
Meanwhile, Russia accused Ukraine of striking two oil refineries on Wednesday, including the 400,000-barrel-per-day Ryazan facility, in violation of an energy ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump.
In the US, American Petroleum Institute (API) data showed that crude inventories fell by 11.1 million barrels last week, marking the steepest decline since June 2025.
