Crude Oil Rise and West Asia Tensions Send Stocks Lower

Indian stock markets fell on Tuesday.

The Sensex lost nearly 493 points, and the Nifty also declined.

The Sensex has now fallen for three days in a row.

The Nifty has fallen for six days in a row.

Investors were worried because oil became more expensive.

They were also less hopeful that countries in West Asia would quickly reach a diplomatic solution.

Technology stocks were among the biggest decliners.

Some banks and other companies gained despite the overall market fall.
