Sensex Today, Nifty 50 | Stock Market Updates – Find here all the live updates related to Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, share prices and Indian stock markets for 4th May 2026.
Benchmark indices traded modestly higher in afternoon deals, gaining a little over 0.40%, after opening with gains of more than 1%. At 1:02 p.m., the Sensex was up 325 points (0.42%) at 77,239, while the Nifty 50 rose 100 points (0.42%) to 24,098.
However, analysts expect a volatile, news-driven week, with investors closely tracking state election outcomes, crude oil prices, and developments in the West Asia conflict. Elevated Brent crude levels amid tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to remain a key macro concern, posing risks to inflation, the rupee, and corporate margins.
Stock-specific moves are expected to be driven by key Q4 earnings from companies such as Ambuja Cements, BHEL, and major auto makers.
Macroeconomic data, including PMI readings and foreign exchange reserves, along with FII flows and currency movements, will also influence market direction. Overall sentiment is likely to hinge on geopolitical stability and crude oil price trends.
