  • Nifty 50 Index Forms Death Cross Amid Bajaj, Tata Motors, HDFC Share Declines
    March 20, 2026, 2:48 AM EDT. The Nifty 50 Index has formed a death cross, a bearish technical signal where the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, indicating potential further declines. The index fell to INR 22,940, down from a triple-top peak of INR 26,428 earlier this year. Technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hit lows not seen since February, reinforcing the negative outlook. Indian equities face pressure amid rising inflation driven by the ongoing Iran war, which has elevated crude oil prices and disrupted supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Rising inflation may prompt the Reserve Bank of India to hike interest rates, pushing bond yields higher. Key companies including Bajaj Finance, Tata Motors, and HDFC have seen shares plunge by over 15% in the past month. HDFC shares fell sharply after the chairman's resignation, and Tata Motors was hit by a large vehicle recall.
