Sensex and Nifty Fall Amid Rising Crude Prices and US-Iran Geopolitical Tensions
Indian stock markets declined sharply on Monday, with the Sensex falling over 700 points and the Nifty dropping below 22,900 amid rising crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran. The surge in Brent crude to around $106.7 per barrel raised concerns over inflation and import costs, impacting investor sentiment. Foreign Institutional Investors continued selling equities, while all major sectoral indices and Sensex constituents traded lower. Asian markets mostly declined, though US markets had ended positively on Friday.
