Sensex and Nifty Volatile Amid US-Iran Tensions and Elevated Crude Prices
Indian equity markets experienced volatility amid escalating US-Iran tensions and elevated crude oil prices. On Monday, Sensex and Nifty closed lower due to concerns over fresh US sanctions on Iran and rising bond yields, with sectoral declines in banking and financial services. On Tuesday, markets opened lower but recovered in the afternoon as crude prices eased below $90 and sanctions fell short of expectations. Healthcare, consumer durables, and PSU banks outperformed, while metals and private banks lagged. Investors remained cautious ahead of key global economic data and monthly derivatives expiry.
