Indian benchmark indices recovered sharply from the day’s lows to end marginally lower in a volatile session on September 11, amid selling seen in metal, realty and PSU bank stocks.
The market opened gap-down as Brent crude surged to around $109 a barrel amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and remained in negative territory for most of the session. The Nifty hit an intraday low of 23,231.40, while the Sensex fell as much as 740 points. However, a moderation in crude oil prices helped ease selling pressure, allowing the indices to recover sharply from their day's lows and close with marginal losses.
At close, the Sensex was down 120.83 points or 0.16 percent at 74,781.76, and the Nifty was down 79.70 points or 0.34 percent at 23,398.10.
The market will remain shut on Monday, September 14, 2026 on account of Ganesh Chaturthi.
Broader indices also ended lower, with Nifty Midcap index declining 0.26%, and Smallcap index falling 0.6%.
