Indian markets witnessed a downtrend today with Nifty 50 and Sensex declining by 0.66% and 0.72% respectively. This movement is largely attributed to escalating geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, leading to a surge in oil prices. The rising oil prices are exerting pressure on the rupee and increasing import costs, which is worrisome for oil-dependent sectors. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's firm stance on controlling inflation further dampened market sentiment, impacting IT and banking stocks as fears of potential rate hikes loom.
