Indian equity benchmarks extended their losing streak for an eighth consecutive week, marking the Nifty 50’s longest weekly decline since 2001. Rising US 10-year Treasury yields, uncertainty over the US-Iran conflict and heightened volatility in Brent crude prices continued to weigh on investor sentiment.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) added to the pressure, selling equities worth ₹44,012.82 crore during the week, their highest weekly selling since June 2026. The Nifty 50 fell 3.1% during the holiday-shortened week, while the BSE Sensex declined 2.7%, taking its eight-week losses to 8.7% and 8.4%, respectively.
The Indian stock market will remain closed on Friday, 2 October, for Gandhi Jayanti, with trading resuming on Monday, 5 October.
