Sensex Opens Lower to Start the Week

2026-07-13 04:32 By Jereli Escobar 1 min. read

India’s BSE Sensex fell about 0.5% to 77,166 on Monday, reversing gains from the previous session, as escalating tensions in the Middle East and Iran's renewed claim of closing the Strait of Hormuz fueled a sharp rise in crude oil prices, weighing on investor sentiment.

Brent crude climbed more than 4% to around $79 a barrel, raising concerns over inflation and the potential for higher global interest rates.

Despite the cautious mood, losses were somewhat cushioned by strong earnings from TCS and continued foreign inflows, with overseas investors purchasing 26.04 billion rupees worth of Indian equities on Friday and accumulating roughly $1.6 billion in July after four consecutive months of net selling.

Investors also tracked earnings, with LTM posting double-digit revenue and profit growth, while Avenue Supermarts reported higher revenue and profit.

Early gainers were Just Dial (10.2%), Avantel (5.4%), Vedanta (4.4%), and Goldiam (2%).
