Market Crash Deepens: Sensex Tanks 1,400+ Points, Nifty Slips Below 23,400 Amid Oil Surge

Stock Market Highlights: Benchmark indices witnessed a sharp sell-off on Tuesday, with the Sensex tumbling over 1,400 points to slip below the 74,500 mark, while the Nifty50 settled near 23,380. Market sentiment remained under pressure amid surging crude oil prices and a steep decline in the rupee, which weakened to a fresh record low. Domestic equities ended significantly lower following weak global market trends and persistent concerns over escalating geopolitical tensions. Analysts believe the benchmark indices, Nifty50 and Sensex, are likely to remain volatile and cautious in the near term, as uncertainty surrounding global developments continues to weigh on investor confidence. Meanwhile, stock-specific action and sector-led movements may dominate during the final leg of the Q4FY26 earnings season. Crude oil prices continued to trade above the $100-per-barrel mark as tensions between the US and Iran showed little sign of easing. Oil prices advanced during early Asian trading hours on Tuesday after negotiations between Washington and Tehran appeared increasingly uncertain. Iran’s reaction to the latest US proposal highlighted significant disagreements between the two nations, intensifying fears of potential supply disruptions in global energy markets.
