BIG BREAKING: Sensex Opens With Sharp 850-Point Fall

The Sensex opened sharply lower on Monday, registering a fall of around 850 points amid continued global uncertainty. Market sentiment has been heavily impacted by rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and ongoing energy concerns, especially the surge in crude oil prices. Experts say that foreign institutional investors have been offloading shares due to global instability, while weak corporate earnings from major companies have further added pressure. Brent crude prices recently surged significantly, creating additional concerns for oil-importing economies like India. Although brief stability was seen during earlier ceasefire-related developments, renewed tensions and global economic worries have again triggered panic selling. Analysts believe that volatility may continue in the near term as markets react to international developments, energy price fluctuations, and policy statements from global leaders.
