Why did stock market crash today? Sensex ends over 700 points down, Nifty below 24,000
The BSE Sensex fell by 715 points to close at 76,755.05, while the Nifty50 dropped below 24,000, as investors reacted to rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions. The decline was driven by fears of supply disruptions linked to the escalating US-Iran conflict and renewed tariff threats from US President Donald Trump. This market downturn reflects growing risk aversion among investors amid multiple global challenges.
