Sensex Today: Â The BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 opened higher on Monday, August 10, 2026, but later turned volatile and slipped into negative territory as rising crude oil prices and continued uncertainty over the Middle East weighed on investor sentiment. Brent crude climbed to around $84.5 per barrel, with uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz adding to concerns over energy prices.
The benchmarks are trading between modest gains and losses during early trade, reflecting mixed global cues. While higher oil prices remained a concern for the import-dependent Indian economy, strong corporate earnings and gains in select stocks provided some support. Softer-than-expected US jobs data also helped ease fears of an immediate increase in US interest rates, offering some relief to emerging markets.
