Stock market today
On 16 April 2026, Indian equity markets witnessed a volatile session, failing to hold onto early gains. The Nifty slipped below the 24,200 mark, closing at 24,196.75, down 34.55 points or 0.14%, while the Sensex ended 122.56 points lower at 77,988.68, a decline of 0.16%. Indices opened strongly, buoyed by positive global cues and optimism surrounding a potential US-Iran peace deal, which lifted sentiment in the first half of trade. However, persistent selling pressure in the latter half erased intraday advances, dragging benchmarks near the flat line.
