Post-Market, 26 May 2026: Sensex And Nifty 50 Slip On Weak Global Cues

The Sensex and the Nifty 50 tumbled on Tuesday’s trade with the fragile geopolitical situation in the Middle East spooking investors. The US strike in southern Iran dashed hopes of a truce. At the closing bell:

• The Sensex stood at 76,009.70, down 0.63%

The broader markets, however, resisted the slide with the Nifty Midcap 100 and the Nifty Smallcap 100 ending the day 0.54% and 0.35% higher, respectively.

Gold And Silver Watch

Gold and silver futures declined on the Multi-Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) in early trade following profit booking and lingering uncertainty about the US-Iran deal.
