Sensex dives 850 pts, Nifty slips below 24,200 amid oil shock and weak global cues
The equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled on Thursday, extending losses for a second straight session. Firm crude oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions rattled sentiment. Brent crude surged for the fourth consecutive day to around $103 per barrel amid uncertainty over US-Iran talks and fresh concerns around the Strait of Hormuz. Weak Asian cues and persistent foreign fund outflows deepened the sell-off.
