Sensex and Nifty Close Lower Amid Inflation, Crude Oil Concerns; IT Stocks Lead Gains Next Day
Indian stock markets experienced volatility on October 14, with the Sensex and Nifty closing lower after a sharp rally the previous day. Profit booking, rising crude oil prices above $106 per barrel, and a spike in wholesale inflation to 11.39% weighed on sentiment. Foreign institutional investors continued selling, while IT and FMCG sectors showed resilience. Market participants also awaited key US inflation data amid expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes. On October 15, markets opened higher despite weak global cues, supported by IT gains and rupee appreciation.
