The Indian stock market witnessed a sharp decline today, driven by a mix of international and domestic concerns. The upcoming Federal Reserve meeting has instilled fear of possible interest rate hikes, which could tighten liquidity and impact growth. Additionally, escalating tensions in the Middle East have raised concerns over oil supply disruptions, pushing energy prices higher, which could exacerbate inflation and widen the trade deficit. Both these factors have contributed to a broader sell-off across sectors, particularly those sensitive to interest rates and energy costs.
