Sensex and Nifty Decline Amid Rising Oil Prices and Global Bond Yield Concerns
On September 15, Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty fell from early gains to trade lower amid rising crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and higher global bond yields. Brent crude hovered near $107 per barrel due to renewed attacks by Iran-aligned Houthi forces on Saudi Arabia and delayed Gulf-Iran talks, raising concerns over energy supply disruptions. These factors, coupled with inflation pressures and expectations of US and domestic rate hikes, weighed on investor sentiment and market breadth.
