BusinessOn Monday, Indian stock markets opened weak with Sensex falling nearly 900 points to 72,995 and Nifty 50 dropping 284 points to 22,856. The decline follows the longest weekly losing streak since 2020, driven by rising crude oil prices hitting $106 and a spike in US 10-year bond yields to 5.2%.
