Sensex Falls Over 700 Points, Nifty Drops Below 24,000 Amid Oil Surge and Geopolitical Tensions
Indian stock markets declined for the third consecutive day amid rising crude oil prices, escalating US-Iran tensions, and concerns over proposed US tariffs on imported generic medicines. The Sensex fell over 700 points, while the Nifty slipped below the 24,000 mark. Selling pressure was broad-based, affecting banking, pharma, realty, and IT sectors, though auto and FMCG stocks showed relative strength. Elevated oil prices raised inflation and trade deficit worries, while geopolitical tensions and a weakening rupee added to investor caution. Market volatility increased as investors awaited further global and domestic developments.
