  • Sensex Drops Over 800 Points Amid Rising Oil Prices and Foreign Investor Selling
    April 30, 2026, 12:47 AM EDT. The BSE Sensex fell 855.79 points (1.10%) to 76,640.57, while the Nifty 50 dropped 1.14%, pressured by a surge in crude oil prices above $120 per barrel. Higher oil costs raise inflation risks and widen India's current account deficit, dampening investor sentiment. Foreign institutional investors sold shares worth Rs 2,468 crore, while domestic investors bought Rs 2,262 crore. The rupee weakened past 95 against the US dollar, raising import costs and inflation worries. Global factors include a hawkish US Federal Reserve stance with stable interest rates but rising bond yields, attracting capital outflows from emerging markets. Sectoral declines were widespread, with Nifty Auto down 1.94%, Financial Services 1.25%, and PSU Bank 1.64%. Market volatility rose, reflected by a 4.55% increase in India VIX to 18.23.
