The Indian stock market closed virtually flat in a range-bound session on Monday, 10 August 2026, as impressive Q1 corporate earnings and softer US employment data were offset by elevated crude oil prices and profit-booking in PSU banking heavyweights.
The benchmark BSE Sensex edged up 43.27 points (0.06%) to close at 78,542.44, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 13.15 points (0.05%) to settle at 24,583.80. In contrast, the Nifty Bank index slipped 59.50 points (0.10%) to finish at 57,686.95.
