Sensex tumbles 931 points, Nifty plunges to 23,775 level amid fading confidence on Iran-U.S. ceasefire

Equity benchmark indices ended lower on Thursday (April 9, 2026), with the Sensex tumbling 931 points after a spectacular rally in the previous session, as renewed tensions in West Asia faded the ceasefire-led optimism.

The ceasefire deal appeared to be at risk after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
