Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded in early trade on July 9, 2026, recovering from a sharp fall in the previous session. The BSE Sensex climbed 495.86 points to 76,998.54, while the NSE Nifty gained 148.70 points to 24,025. The recovery was driven by foreign fund inflows and buying in blue-chip stocks such as Sun Pharma, Bharti Airtel, and Reliance Industries. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth ₹1,962.80 crore on July 8. However, IT stocks like Infosys and TCS lagged. Analysts noted that geopolitical tensions, particularly concerns over the Strait of Hormuz and crude oil prices, had impacted markets, but Brent crude at $78.83 per barrel was not seen as a crisis trigger. Asian markets showed mixed performance, while U.S. markets ended mostly lower.

"Geopolitics has again played spoilsport with the Indian market, which has been slowly strengthening," said V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.

"There are market indications that things may not deteriorate as feared. First, Brent at $80 is not a problem. It won't create a BoP (Balance of Payments) crisis. The crisis will re-emerge only if the tensions lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz again, and consequently, crude spiking above $100. The present futures do not reflect such a pessimistic scenario."

- Asian markets: South Korea's Kospi and Japan's Nikkei 225 index rebounded and were trading in the green, while Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index quoted lower.
- U.S. markets: Ended mostly lower on Wednesday (July 8, 2026).
