Sensex and Nifty Flat on July 13; Fall Sharply on July 14 Amid US-Iran Tensions and Rising Oil Prices
Indian stock markets ended flat on July 13, supported by gains in IT and consumer durables stocks despite escalating US-Iran tensions and rising crude oil prices. On July 14, renewed hostilities and a US naval blockade on Iranian shipping pushed Brent crude above $84 per barrel, leading to a sharp market decline with Sensex falling over 500 points and Nifty slipping below 24,100. Foreign fund outflows and weak global cues added pressure, while domestic investors remained cautious amid inflation and currency concerns.
