Indian market Update : 6th March 2026

A day after logging strong gains of more than 1% each, domestic market benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, resumed their downward March on Friday, March 6, due to profit booking amid persisting concerns over the US-Iran war, crude oil price spike, and heavy foreign capital outflow. The Senex crashed nearly 700 points, or almost 1%, to an intraday low of 79,346, while the Nifty 50 fell to 24,575 during the session, falling nearly 200 points, or about 1%. The overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms slipped to ₹452 lakh crore from ₹453 lakh crore in the previous session, resulting in a loss of ₹1 lakh crore for investors in a single session.
