Sensex Drops 778 Points, Nifty Hits Five-Month Low Amid Rising Oil Prices and Bond Yields
On September 15, Indian stock markets fell sharply, with the Sensex dropping about 778 points and the Nifty closing near a five-month low at 23,118.60. The decline was driven by rising crude oil prices above $107 per barrel amid Middle East tensions, elevated US 10-year Treasury yields crossing 5%, and concerns over potential US Federal Reserve rate hikes. Broader market indices and sectors like realty, metals, and consumer durables saw significant losses, while IT stocks bucked the trend with gains. The rupee weakened, adding to inflation and fiscal concerns.
