Stock Markets News as on 28th April, 2026
Indian stock markets saw a mixed but slightly negative bias on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, with the major indices trading around the 24,000‑level on Nifty and near 77,000 on Sensex amid elevated crude‑oil prices and ongoing foreign‑institutional selling. Both the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 ended the session in the red, reversing part of Monday’s gains, while midcap and smallcap indices held relatively better, reflecting broader‑market resilience.
Benchmark indices today
The Nifty 50 hovered around the 24,000 zone, closing below 24,050 with a loss of roughly 0.4–0.5% on the day, while the BSE Sensex shed over 300–400 points to settle near 76,800–76,900. This subdued move came on options‑expiry day, which typically adds volatility and often leads to profit‑booking or index‑level adjustments.
Sector‑wise performance
Sectorally, PSU and private banks were among the main drags, with the Nifty Bank index slipping about 1–1.5% as rate and margin concerns weighed on financials. On the flip side, energy, metals, and select oil & gas names such as ONGC, Coal India, and Grasim posted gains, benefiting from higher crude prices and strong operating performance.
Broader market and outlook
Midcap and smallcap indices outperformed the benchmarks, with Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices inching up 0.2–0.8%, signalling that stock‑specific and sector‑specific stories continue to drive parts of the market even as FIIs remain net sellers. Analysts note that India’s equity‑market underperformance in 2026 versus global indices is largely linked to global “AI‑driven” flows favouring U.S. tech, which may keep pressure on FIIs until that rotation eases.
