Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended the session lower on Monday, June 8, 2026, as international crude oil prices rose more than 4.8 per cent, trading above the USD 94 per barrel mark. The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 719.08 points or 0.97 per cent, to settle at 73,524.26. The 50-share NSE Nifty slipped 243.70 points, or 1.04 per cent, to end at 23,123. During the day, the BSE hit a high of 73,934.35 and a low of 73,318.94, gyrating 615.42 points. The Nifty 50 recovered a bit from its intraday lows of 23,070, but failed to sustain momentum in the second half.
“The overall market bias remains cautiously negative as the index continues to trade below key resistance levels despite intraday recovery attempts. Broad-based weakness across sectors and the failure to sustain higher levels indicate that market participants remain risk-averse,” said Hitesh Tailor, Technical Research Analyst at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited.
