Sensex down 900 points, Nifty50 ends below 23,800: Why stock market crashed today
Indian stock markets fell sharply on Friday, with the Sensex dropping 900 points and the Nifty50 closing below 23,800, marking a fifth consecutive session of losses. Rising oil prices, tensions in the Middle East, and ongoing selling by foreign institutional investors heightened market caution. Heavy selling in major stocks like Infosys and HDFC Bank further exacerbated the decline amid renewed concerns over US trade tariffs.
