Sensex and Nifty Fall Amid Rising Oil Prices and Escalating US-Iran Tensions
Indian equity markets experienced volatility amid rising crude oil prices and escalating US-Iran tensions. On September 1, Sensex and Nifty ended marginally lower despite strong domestic GDP growth, with IT and FMCG sectors outperforming. On September 2, markets opened sharply lower, with Sensex dropping over 750 points and Nifty falling below 23,800, driven by geopolitical concerns, surging oil prices near $96-97 per barrel, and rising global bond yields. Broader indices and most sectors declined, while select stocks showed gains amid heightened market volatility.
