Indian stock indices Sensex and Nifty closed lower on August 12, 2026, as rising global crude oil prices and pressure on Tata Group stocks dampened investor sentiment.
The Sensex shed 180 points during the trading session, while Nifty 50 saw a decline of 0.15% amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz.
Market analysts are now shifting focus to upcoming US inflation data, which is expected to influence global interest rate expectations and future foreign institutional investment flows.
