Stock markets tumble in early trade dragged by HDFC Bank, spike in crude oil prices
Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty fell in early trade on Monday, primarily due to significant selling pressure on blue-chip HDFC Bank and a sharp increase in crude oil prices. The decline reflects broader market concerns, with other major companies like Kotak Mahindra Bank and InterGlobe Aviation also experiencing losses. Investors are likely to monitor the situation closely as fluctuations in oil prices could further impact market stability.
