Overview
- For the week ending September 25, 2026, the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex fell for a seventh consecutive week, marking their longest losing streak since the February–April 2020 COVID selloff.
- Foreign institutional investors were net sellers of about ₹11,490 crore for the week, and that outflow was only partly offset by domestic institutions buying roughly ₹16,398 crore.
- A sharp rise in US Treasury yields, with the 10-year and 30-year quoted near the 5.18% and 5.35% levels, raised the appeal of dollar assets and reduced demand for emerging-market equities.
- Higher crude prices kept pressure on India’s import bill and inflation outlook, while a governance dispute at Tata Sons and steep falls in insurance stocks, including a roughly 33% drop in PB Fintech, amplified market losses.
- Traders and analysts say the Nifty's 23,000 zone is the key support to watch and that a move back above about 23,200 or a break below 23,000 will likely shape positioning and flows next week.
