Stock markets dive over 2% on geopolitical, oil concerns

Hindustan Times Patna

March 28, 2026

Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled over 2% on Friday after a two-day rally, in tandem with a global selloff, as investor sentiment weakened due to uncertainties over geopolitical tensions.

Crude oil prices staying above the $100 per barrel mark, the rupee’s fall to record lows, and unabated foreign fund outflows also added to the gloom.

The 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 1,690.23 points, or 2.25%, to settle at 73,583.22. During the day, it plunged 1,739.04 points, or 2.31%, to 73,534.41.

A total of 3,544 stocks declined, while 822 advanced and 135 remained unchanged on the BSE.

The 50-share NSE Nifty dropped 486.85 points, or 2.09%, to end at 22,819.60.

In a holiday-shortened week, the BSE benchmark lost 949.74 points or 1.27%, and the Nifty tanked 294.9 points or 1.27%.
