Indian Markets Decline Amid Global Cues and Geopolitical Uncertainty
What happened
Indian benchmark indices ended the week weak, with the Nifty falling 1.56 percent and the Sensex down 1.52 percent. Selling pressure was intensified by weak global cues, elevated crude oil prices, bond yields, and heightened geopolitical uncertainty following a stalemate in US-Iran peace talks. Adani Enterprises, Bank of Baroda, and Ambuja Cements were among the biggest losers in the market.
