The BSE Sensex fell 616.15 points to 76,946.97 in early trade on July 13, 2026, due to rising tensions in West Asia and increasing crude oil prices. This decline follows a two-day rally and is compounded by a bearish trend in Asian markets. Investors are likely to remain cautious as geopolitical uncertainties persist and oil prices continue to rise.
