Nifty 22,558.95 (-0.28%), Sensex 72,389.51 (-0.12%) at 9:44 AM, 1 Oct. FII selling 2026: record USD 27.8 bn.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Indian benchmarks are set for their longest weekly losing streak in 25 years, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex on course for an eighth straight weekly loss on 1 October 2026. Before this run, the Nifty had seen seven or more weekly losses only four times since 2001, with the longest being nine weeks in 2001. Record FII selling of USD 27.8 billion this year, US Treasury yields near 19-year highs and crude oil tied to Middle East tensions are behind the fall. Markets are closed on Friday for Gandhi Jayanti.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The longest weekly losing streak in a quarter of a century is now within sight for Indian equities. On Thursday, 1 October 2026, the Nifty 50 was down 0.28% at 22,558.95 and the Sensex was down 0.12% at 72,389.51 as of 9:44 AM, putting both benchmarks on course for an eighth consecutive Nifty weekly loss, their longest such streak in 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>With markets shut on Friday for the Gandhi Jayanti holiday, Thursday is the last trading day of the week. The Nifty closed last week at 23,140.50, so it would need a rally of more than 2.5% in a single session to avoid another weekly decline. FII selling, high US bond yields and oil prices make that unlikely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a

Before this streak, the Nifty 50 had recorded seven or more consecutive weekly losses only four times in the last 25 years: in 2020, 2008 and twice in 2001, according to Reuters. Its longest losing streak was nine weeks, in 2001.

Foreign investors sold USD 1.06 billion of Indian shares on Wednesday and about USD 3.6 billion over the previous five sessions, taking year-to-date FII selling to a record USD 27.8 billion, according to Reuters. Domestic institutions have kept buying, but not enough to offset the outflows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>High US Treasury yields:<\/strong> The US 10-year Treasury yield spiked to a 19-year high above 5.27% earlier this week. Higher US yields raise the risk-free return for global investors, making Indian equities look less attractive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oil and Middle East tensions:<\/strong> Brent crude hovered around USD 105 a barrel earlier in the week as the US-Iran conflict raised supply worries. High oil prices push up inflation, bond yields and pressure on the rupee in India, which imports most of its crude.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Track Nifty weekly loss trends and FII flows on the Univest Screener<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sensex_Today_Sector_Moves_on_1_October\"><\/span><strong>Sensex Today: Sector Moves on 1 October<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As the longest weekly losing streak extended, eleven of 16 major sectors were lower on Thursday morning.

A ceasefire or peace deal that cools oil prices would likely be the biggest trigger. A fall in US Treasury yields, signs that FII selling is slowing, or a steady RBI policy could also help. For the market outlook, strong September quarter earnings, due from mid-October, would offer support from the fundamentals side.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Should_Investors_Do\"><\/span><strong>What Should Investors Do?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even the longest weekly losing streak has historically not lasted forever. In 2001, 2008 and 2020, extended declines were eventually followed by recoveries, though timing varied widely. Long-term investors often continue SIPs and focus on quality stocks during such phases, while traders manage risk with strict stop losses. Avoid panic selling, and review your asset allocation rather than reacting to weekly moves.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_Line_on_the_Longest_Weekly_Losing_Streak\"><\/span><strong>Bottom Line on the Longest Weekly Losing Streak<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Indian benchmarks are set for their longest weekly losing streak in 25 years, with an eighth straight weekly loss likely as record FII selling, high US yields and oil prices weigh on markets.
