Sensex Drops Over 500 Points Amid Crude Price Rise, Fed Watch
On October 26, 2026, Mumbai's stock markets opened lower with the BSE Sensex falling 536.30 points to 72,583.86 and the NSE Nifty dropping 200.10 points to 22,402.80. The decline was driven by rising crude oil prices due to geopolitical tensions and investor caution ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decision. Major Sensex losers included Asian Paints, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Unilever, Infosys, Bajaj Finserv, and Reliance Industries.
