Stock Market LIVE Updates: Sensex and Nifty Bleed as Global Worries, Oil Spike and FII Selling Trigger Heavy Volatility
Markets opened the week on a volatile note as investors coped with a slew of rising geopolitical tensions, climbing crude oil prices, policy cues from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a fresh bout of earnings-led stock moves.
The BSE Sensex was down over 1,020 points, quoting at 76,307.68 in early deals. The NSE Nifty 50 was also down 292.30 points, or 1.21 per cent, at 23,935.30 after falling below the 24,000 mark. The Nifty fell 199 points or 0.83 per cent to touch an intraday low of 23,871.
One of the biggest triggers for trade today remains PM Modi’s appeal to citizens to temporarily refrain from buying gold, delay non-essential foreign travel and prioritise work-from-home arrangements as global uncertainty and pressure on foreign exchange reserves mount.
Sentiment was also dented as crude oil prices surged nearly 3% on reports US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal, reviving concerns over inflation, supply disruptions and global risk aversion.
Stocks like Titan Company, Senco Gold, Kalyan Jewellers and InterGlobe Aviation will remain in focus on the back of the prime minister’s comments. That said, quarterly earnings reactions could guide the movement in stocks like Bank of Baroda, Bank of India and Swiggy, among others.
Analysts say institutional flows and near-term market direction will continue to be driven by global developments, in particular the changing US-Iran dynamic and movement in crude oil prices. Traders are also closely watching the Nifty Bank index, which lagged behind the broader markets last week and is trying to hold the 54,221 support area.
