Stock Market Crash News Today Live Updates: Nifty Falls Near 24,100, Sensex Drops Over 350 Points; IT Stocks Extend Declines
4 hours ago

The benchmarks remained under pressure amid F&O expiry-related volatility, with HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries among the key drags on the indices. Nifty 50 extended its decline and traded down 0.21% or 50.80 points at 24,187.70. Sensex fell 0.31% or 238.41 points to 77,470.11.

Global cues remain mixed. Wall Street ended lower overnight, with losses in Apple weighing on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also finished in negative territory.

Crude oil continues to be a key market driver. Brent crude eased 0.4% to $88.86 a barrel, but remained near multi-week highs as traders assessed the risk to Saudi Arabian exports after Yemen's Houthi rebels threatened shipping through a key Red Sea route. Elevated energy prices continue to fuel concerns that inflationary pressures could persist, even as investors assess the outlook for global growth.
