thebalanced.newsNifty Bank Index Drops Nearly 900 Points on Weak SBI Earnings and Rising Crude Prices
On Monday, the Nifty Bank index fell nearly 1.7-2 percent, losing about 900 points amid weak quarterly earnings from State Bank of India (SBI) and rising crude oil prices. SBI, the largest public sector bank, reported a 5.6 percent year-on-year profit increase but missed market estimates due to margin pressures, leading to a decline of up to 4 percent in its shares. Other major banks, including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and IndusInd Bank, also saw declines, while Bank of Baroda bucked the trend with marginal gains. The crude price surge raised concerns over inflation and credit growth, impacting investor sentiment across banking stocks.
