Indian Markets Extend Losses Amid Rising Crude Prices and Middle East Tensions
Indian equity markets extended losses for a fourth consecutive session amid rising crude oil prices and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The Sensex fell over 360 points to around 76,391, while the Nifty 50 dropped below 23,900. Sectoral declines were broad-based, with realty, metals, and PSU banks under pressure, while auto and media shares showed resilience. Investor sentiment was dampened by concerns over inflation, supply disruptions, and foreign portfolio investor selling. Several companies, including HEG, Infosys, and SRF, reported mixed Q1 earnings, influencing stock-specific movements. Market volatility increased, with India VIX rising sharply.
