Sensex latest close fell 0.60% before next open

MUMBAI, 17 September 2026 — Sensex last stood at 74,336.45 for the completed 16 September 2026 session, fell 0.60% from 74,781.80.

Sensex movement since the preceding check

The latest Sensex value is 0.45% above the earlier checkpoint. The earlier Sensex observation was 74,003.8200 at 00:01 IST, 16 September 2026. A fixed Sensex earlier reference helps separate a new reportable movement from a recycled daily template. The Sensex two-point change gives scale, not causation, and it cannot show the path or volatility between observations.

Sensex market state at this timestamp

The next regular Sensex session was pre-open at the CapKet capture time. The value above belongs to the latest completed session, not the coming session. The recorded session range was 73,981.33 to 74,561.19, with an opening level of 74,262.63. For Sensex, that status separates an unfinished Sensex trade from a completed Sensex result, continuous reference or derivatives observation.

How the Sensex instrument works

Sensex is a 30-company BSE benchmark with a long history, but its concentrated membership means a few heavyweight stocks can move the headline level. This Sensex checkpoint belongs inside the Sensex construction; it cannot represent every related security, physical grade or venue.

Sensex market-structure note

Sensex contains thirty BSE companies and has a more concentrated membership than broad Indian-market measures. A move by a few high-weight stocks may dominate the headline while market breadth tells another story. Comparisons should use the BSE cash index itself, preserve Indian trading dates and avoid assuming the same percentage for Nifty 50.

Evidence for the next Sensex report

The Sensex verification list includes large banks, industrial groups, overseas flows and the rupee. Those Sensex variables provide context; none proves that one input caused this measured Sensex move.

Sensex comparison dossier

The stored Sensex sequence begins with 74,003.8200 and reaches 74,336.45 in this report. The displayed Sensex move against its provider reference is -0.60%, while CapKet’s separate checkpoint calculation is 0.45% above the earlier checkpoint. The Sensex unit for this page is INR, and the observation class is cash. Keeping those Sensex fields together prevents a cash close, rolling crypto window, futures contract and physical-market price from being treated as interchangeable. For Sensex, the record is useful because it specifies the instrument, value, comparison basis, source state and time boundary in one independently written article.

Sensex calculation and source boundary

The Sensex arithmetic uses (new value minus earlier value) divided by the earlier value; source precision was retained for calculation. The Sensex batch was captured at 01:06 IST, 17 September 2026 (19:36 UTC). A public Sensex feed may be delayed, revised or mapped to another active contract.
