Thin on the left so far

Only 1 of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Indian stock markets opened higher on 15 September 2026. The BSE Sensex began trading at 75,369.63, an increase of 587.87 points or 0.79% from its previous close. The Nifty 50 opened at 23,576.15, up 178.05 points or 0.76%.

Information technology stocks were the top gainers, with the Nifty IT index rising about 5%. Other indices such as Nifty FMCG, Nifty Services, Nifty Consumption, Nifty Auto, and Nifty Oil & Gas also traded in the green. The market's positive start followed a five-day losing streak.

The market movement occurred amidst concerns over elevated crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Brent crude futures had risen to $106.93 a barrel following attacks on Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline. US Treasury yields had also hit 5% overnight, adding to inflation concerns.
