What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

On September 24, 2026, Indian benchmark indices, including the Nifty 50 and Sensex, fell around 1% as Brent crude prices surged above $102 a barrel. This decline was also influenced by the US 10-year Treasury yield climbing to 5.11%. Furthermore, an IRDAI consultation paper indicating potential cuts in distributor commissions weighed on insurance companies and banks.
