Indian Markets Fall Amid Rising Oil Prices and Middle East Tensions; FMCG, Auto Show Strength
Indian equity markets declined for a third consecutive session amid escalating Middle East tensions and rising crude oil prices, which heightened inflation concerns and weakened the rupee. The Sensex fell over 700 points, with the Nifty slipping below the 24,000 mark. Sectoral losses were broad, notably in realty, banking, pharma, and media, while FMCG and auto stocks showed resilience supported by strong quarterly earnings. Market volatility increased as investors monitored geopolitical developments and the ongoing Q1 FY27 earnings season.
