Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty fell in early trade on 19 Aug 2026, with the Sensex down 166.19 points to 77,070.93 and Nifty dropping 59 points to 24,096.75. The rise in crude oil prices, now at $91.63 per barrel, amid geopolitical tensions, has dampened investor sentiment.

Major laggards included Tata Steel, Larsen & Toubro, and Bajaj Finance, while HCL Tech and Infosys saw gains. Immediate market implications may persist as energy supply concerns grow.
