Sensex and Nifty Extend Losses Amid Rising Crude Oil, Rebound on Easing US Bond Yields
Indian equity markets extended losses for seven consecutive sessions on August 19, with the Sensex falling 326 points to 76,910 and the Nifty declining 77 points to 24,078. Elevated crude oil prices, driven by unresolved US-Iran tensions and rising global bond yields, weighed on investor sentiment. However, on August 20, markets rebounded strongly, with the Sensex gaining over 600 points and the Nifty rising above 24,200, supported by easing US Treasury yields, positive global cues, and buying in IT, financial, and realty sectors. Despite the recovery, concerns over crude prices and geopolitical risks remain.
