Markets Fall Fourth Day on Oil Surge
The stock markets in India have been falling for four days in a row.
This is because the price of oil has gone up a lot, and there are worries about problems in the Middle East.
Big companies like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank have lost value, making investors nervous.
Foreign investors are also selling their shares, which is making the situation worse.
Some sectors like real estate and energy are doing poorly, but a few like auto and insurance are doing better.
Stock markets in India fell for the fourth straight day, with the Sensex dropping 363.66 points.
Rising crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions in West Asia contributed to the decline.
Foreign Institutional Investors sold equities worth Rs 819.20 crore.
Realty, energy, and banking sectors were the biggest drags on the market.
Broader markets saw sharper losses, with small and mid-cap indices down by over 1%.
