In Brief

  1. Sensex opened 470 points higher on September 4.
  2. US Federal Reserve's easing rate hike concerns lifted market sentiment.
  3. Crude oil prices rose to $96, marking a 7% weekly surge amid Iran-US tensions.
  4. Rising oil prices and geopolitical risks influenced market movements.

Indian stock markets opened on a buoyant note on September 4, 2026, with the BSE Sensex climbing over 470 points in early trade. The surge was spurred by reassuring signals from the US Federal Reserve, where dovish commentary on inflation and interest rate trajectories alleviated concerns regarding aggressive monetary tightening. The resulting decline in US Treasury yields and crude oil price stabilization helped improve liquidity expectations, lifting sentiment across Asian financial hubs and spurring strong buying in domestic equities.
