Indian stock markets fall 0.8% as Nifty drops below 22,600

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

Indian stock benchmarks Sensex and Nifty50 fell over 0.8% on Tuesday, with Nifty trading below 22,600, erasing nearly Rs 4 lakh crore in market value amid investor caution. The decline was driven by rising crude oil prices above $107 per barrel, surging bond yields, a rupee fall to a two-month low, and intensified foreign institutional selling of over Rs 5,353 crore on Monday. Global markets also weakened, with US stocks and Asian indices declining. The session coincided with Nifty's monthly expiry, while markets awaited the RBI's rate decision next week.
