Indian benchmark indices ended sharply lower on 11 May 2026, as rising crude oil prices weighed on market sentiment following the lack of any breakthrough in the United States and Iran peace talks. Weakness in the Indian Rupee, along with continued selling pressure from the FII desk, also added pressure during the trading session.
At close, the Sensex declined by 1,312.91 points to end at 76,015.28. The Nifty fell by 360.30 points to close at 23,815.85.
Bank Nifty also remained under pressure, declining by 870.65 points to close at 54,439.90.
The broader market witnessed weakness during the session. The Nifty Midcap 100 fell by 652.50 points to close at 61,258.40, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 declined by 211.20 points to end at 18,525.80.
In currency and volatility indicators, the USD-INR moved higher by 0.77 to 95.20.
India VIX rose by 1.71 to 18.55, marking a gain of 10.17%.
