Chaos in Share Market… Sensex falls 400 points in the shadow of Iran-Israel war, fear among investors

Indian Share Market Global Tension Impact: Today on Friday, the Indian stock market had a very disappointing start and selling environment was seen all around. Weak signals from global markets and increasing war tension in the Middle East have scared investors a lot. The huge fall in the American market and the flaring prices of crude oil have created deep pressure on the domestic market as well. Both Sensex and Nifty indices opened with red mark and the trend of decline continued since morning.

Bad signals from global market

News of the escalating war between the US and Iran has sent global financial markets into turmoil, sending investors into safe havens. On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average of the American stock market closed down by almost 800 points, which had a direct impact on the Indian market this morning. In Asian markets too, Japan’s Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi were trading in decline, which weakened investor confidence.

Big fall in Sensex and Nifty

On the last trading day of the week, the Sensex opened with a fall of 356 points at 79658 and within no time it fell by 404 points. At the same time, Nifty of National Stock Exchange also recorded a century of decline and fell to the level of 24663 with a loss of 102 points. Amidst this upheaval in the market, only some green shoots were seen in some IT sector companies like Infosys and TCS.

Increasing tension and fear of crude oil

The rise in crude oil prices has further fueled the fears of rising inflation, which has completely spoiled the market sentiment. Although the temporary relief that India got from America to buy Russian oil is a good news, but the fear of war overshadowed it. Investors fear that if the Middle East conflict escalates further, there will be an even bigger decline in the market in the coming days.
