Markets decline in early trade on higher crude oil prices, selling in bank stocks
The BSE Sensex fell by 403.54 points to 77,066.06 in early trade, marking the third consecutive day of decline, while the NSE Nifty dropped 114.75 points to 24,070.05. This downturn is attributed to rising crude oil prices and significant selling pressure in bank stocks. Analysts suggest that continued volatility in oil markets could further impact investor sentiment.
