Market Falls 1.7% Due to Crude Surge and Insurance Reforms
Indian equity markets fell sharply on September 24, 2026, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex both dropping 1.7%. The decline was driven by a spike in global crude oil prices, weak international cues, and concerns over proposed insurance sector reforms. Brent crude futures rose to $104.86 a barrel, raising inflation and corporate margin worries amid geopolitical uncertainty and rising bond yields.
