Stock Markets Fall for Second Day as Risks Weigh
India’s main stock markets fell for the second day in a row.
The Sensex lost more than 555 points.
The Nifty also went down by about 144 points.
Investors were worried because crude oil prices were rising.
They were also concerned about hostilities between the US and Iran.
When investors feel worried, they may sell shares.
Selling in ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and Reliance Industries added to the market decline.
The Sensex and Nifty both finished lower on Tuesday.
The Sensex fell 555.23 points, or 0.73%, to close at 75,577.58.
The Nifty declined 144.05 points, or 0.61%, to settle at 23,635.10.
Both benchmark indices recorded losses for a second consecutive day.
Rising crude oil prices and US-Iran hostilities weakened investor risk appetite.
