Indian Stock Markets Extend Losses as Brent Crude Surges Above $100 Amid US-Iran Tensions
Indian stock markets extended losses for a fourth consecutive session amid escalating US-Iran tensions and rising crude oil prices, with Brent crude crossing the $100 per barrel mark. The Sensex fell over 500 points, and the Nifty slipped below 23,700, pressured by weak global cues, foreign institutional investor selling, and disappointing corporate earnings. Sectoral declines were broad-based, notably in banking, realty, and energy, while auto stocks showed relative resilience. Elevated oil prices raised concerns about inflation, trade deficits, and corporate margins, contributing to subdued investor sentiment.
