Sensex and Nifty Fall Sharply Amid Rising Oil Prices and Global Bond Yields
On September 15, Indian stock markets declined sharply, with the Sensex falling over 770 points and the Nifty dropping nearly 280 points to five-month lows. The sell-off was driven by rising crude oil prices above $107 per barrel amid Middle East tensions, elevated global bond yields, and inflation concerns. While most sectors fell, the IT sector gained modestly. Experts noted that these factors increased expectations of US and domestic rate hikes, weighed on investor sentiment, and pressured the broader market despite some technical support levels holding.
