Indian stock exchanges are closed today, Monday, September 14, 2026, for Ganesh Chaturthi — but crypto, bullion and forex markets never sleep. Here’s everything you need to know this morning, from Friday’s closing tally on Dalal Street to live crypto and commodity rates.
📈 Indian Stock Market: Closed Today, Here’s Where It Left Off
NSE and BSE are shut for the Ganesh Chaturthi holiday and will resume normal trading on Tuesday, September 15. The last session, Friday, September 11, was a subdued one: the Sensex slipped 120.84 points (-0.16%) to close at 74,781.76, while the Nifty 50 fell 79.70 points (-0.34%) to end at 23,398.10. That capped a rough week — both benchmarks logged their fifth straight weekly loss, with the Sensex down 2.27% and the Nifty down 2.1% for the week, dragging indices to their lowest levels since June 11. Nifty Realty (-6.5%) and Nifty IT (-5.8%) led the sectoral damage; only pharma and healthcare stayed in the green.
₿ Crypto Market Update
Bitcoin is trading around $76,990 (₹74.27 lakh), holding firm as the global crypto market cap sits near $2.73 trillion, up 1.3% over 24 hours. Ethereum is at roughly $2,500.70 (₹2,40,790), down a marginal 0.29% on the day. Bitcoin dominance stands at 57.3%, with Ethereum at 11.2% — a fairly steady risk backdrop even as equities wobble.

📰 Top 5 Financial News Stories This Morning
- Sensex and Nifty log a fifth straight weekly loss. Persistent FII selling, a surging oil bill and a weaker rupee combined to push both benchmarks nearly 5% lower over five consecutive weeks, with analysts now flagging oversold conditions and the possibility of a short-term technical bounce when trading resumes Tuesday.
- Brent crude rockets past $107 a barrel. Oil has surged roughly 3% as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalate, with Iran conditioning any reopening on a halt to US military operations in the region. Sustained crude above $100 remains the single biggest swing factor for India’s import bill, the rupee and inflation.
- FIIs pull ₹14,475 crore from Indian equities in September. Foreign investors turned net sellers of ₹930.9 crore in the cash segment on the last trading day alone, even as domestic institutions absorbed the selling — DIIs bought a net ₹1,968.2 crore on September 11, cushioning the fall.
- US Treasury yields hit their highest since 2023. The 10-year yield climbed to around 4.83% after new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh struck a hawkish tone and August US jobs data came in stronger than expected, raising fresh odds of a rate hike and pressuring risk assets, including Indian equities, through higher global borrowing costs.
- Rupee stays under pressure near 95.8/USD. A combination of oil-driven import demand, FII outflows and a firmer dollar index has kept the rupee soft, a trend traders will be watching closely when the currency and equity markets both reopen Tuesday.
🔍 What to Watch Today
With NSE and BSE shut, the focus shifts to global cues: US and European markets trade as usual today and will set the tone for India’s Tuesday reopening. Keep an eye on any further escalation around the Strait of Hormuz and its effect on Brent crude, along with commentary from Fed officials that could move Treasury yields — and by extension, FII flows into emerging markets like India — further. GIFT Nifty and SGX futures (where active) are worth checking Monday evening for an early read on Tuesday’s opening direction.
