Sensex Drops Over 1,000 Points as Crude Oil Prices Surge and Markets Fall
Indian stock markets experienced a sharp decline on Monday, with the Sensex falling over 1,000 points and the Nifty dropping below 22,900, marking near six-month lows. The sell-off was driven by rising crude oil prices, which surged above $107 per barrel amid stalled US-Iran negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz, elevated US bond yields, and foreign institutional investor selling. Broad-based losses affected all major sectors, including PSU banks, metals, and auto, while concerns over inflation, import costs, and a weakening rupee added to market pressures.
