EQUITY
Post Session: Quick Review
Sep-11-2026

Indian equity benchmarks trimmed their initial losses but ended in the red on Friday, weighed down by persistent foreign fund outflows, escalating tensions in the West Asia, rising global bond yields, and growing concerns over inflation and interest rates. However, a decline in crude oil prices offered some support to the markets.

Both Sensex and Nifty ended marginally lower amid broad-based selling across sectors. However, losses were trimmed amid buying in select heavyweight IT stocks, and value buying in HDFC Bank also provided support to the markets.

Some of the important factors in trade:

FIIs continue selling streak: Some cautiousness came as Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers on September 10, 2026, with a net outflow of Rs 438.24 crore.

India has opportunity to become trusted partner in shaping future of global finance: Traders overlooked report that Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra asserted that India has the opportunity to become a trusted partner in shaping the future architecture of global finance.

India, Russia fast-tracking negotiations for new bilateral investment treaty: Traders took note of Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s statement that India and Russia are fast-tracking negotiations for a new bilateral investment treaty (BIT) aimed at providing greater legal certainty to investors on both sides.

On the global front: European stocks were trading higher, after data showed that the U.K. economy expanded at a faster pace in July, driven by growth in services and industrial production. Asian markets closed mostly in the red, following the negative cues from Wall Street overnight.

The BSE Sensex ended at 74781.76, down by 120.83 points or 0.16% after trading in a range of 74160.16 and 74917.15. There were 13 stocks advancing against 17 stocks declining on the index. (Provisional)

The few gaining sectoral indices on the BSE were Telecom up by 1.00%, IT up by 0.29%, TECK up by 0.25%, and Bankex up by 0.10%, while Realty down by 2.69%, Metal down by 2.40%, Basic Materials down by 1.61%, Energy down by 1.06%, and Utilities down by 1.00% were the losing indices on BSE. (Provisional)

The top gainers on the Sensex were HDFC Bank up by 1.80%, HCL Technologies up by 1.56%, Tech Mahindra up by 1.55%, ITC up by 0.95% and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone up by 0.65%. On the flip side, Tata Steel down by 1.53%, Bajaj Finance down by 1.48%, Sun Pharma down by 1.43%, Mahindra & Mahindra down by 1.08% and Reliance Industries down by 1.05% were the top losers. (Provisional)

Meanwhile, amid the ongoing debate over the credibility of India’s latest GDP estimates, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has welcomed the country’s efforts to modernise its statistical framework, and said that the incorporation of a new Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and Producer Price Index (PPI) series should help improve the accuracy of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates.

Julie Kozack, Director of the IMF’s Communications Department, said the latest GDP release incorporated both a new IIP and a new PPI series, which “should help improve India’s GDP estimates.” She encouraged the authorities to continue strengthening the country’s statistical framework and data quality.

She also noted that India’s real GDP grew 7.8% in the second quarter, exceeding IMF staff expectations as well as the consensus among other observers. She said the upside surprise was driven by stronger-than-expected activity in the services sector and higher exports.

The CNX Nifty ended at 23398.10, down by 79.70 points or 0.34% after trading in a range of 23231.40 and 23448.10. There were 12 stocks advancing against 37 stocks declining on the index, while one stock remained unchanged. (Provisional)

The top gainers on Nifty were HDFC Bank up by 2.08%, Dr. Reddy's Labs up by 1.97%, Tech Mahindra up by 1.00%, HDFC Life Insurance up by 0.73% and Wipro up by 0.66%. On the flip side, Hindalco Industries down by 3.21%, JSW Steel down by 2.99%, Eicher Motors down by 2.17%, Tata Steel down by 2.02% and ONGC down by 2.01% were the top losers. (Provisional)

European markets were trading higher; Germany’s DAX gained 179.15 points or 0.71% to 25,540.30, France’s CAC rose 47.64 points or 0.59% to 8,164.40 and UK’s FTSE 100 increased 50.35 points or 0.47% to 10,659.27.

Asian markets settled mostly lower on Friday tracking Wall Street's overnight fall as markets faced heavy selling pressure due to inflation worries after Brent crude prices jumped to their highest level since May on escalating Middle East tensions. Market sentiments weakened further as Global bond yields surged toward multi-year highs ahead of US CPI report and after Thursday's PPI data showed wholesale prices picked up last month, strengthening expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike next week. Further, Japanese Nikkei fell amid rising expectations that Bank of Japan may raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25% at its upcoming policy meeting next week.
