Sensex Falls Over 1,100 Points as Crude Oil Prices and Geopolitical Tensions Impact Markets
Indian stock markets experienced a sharp decline on Monday, with the Sensex falling over 1,100 points and the Nifty dropping below 22,800, marking near six-month lows. The sell-off was driven by rising crude oil prices above USD 107, escalating US-Iran geopolitical tensions, elevated US bond yields, and persistent foreign fund outflows. Broad-based selling affected multiple sectors, including PSU banks, metals, and financials, while concerns over inflation, import costs, and global market volatility weighed on investor sentiment.
