  • Indian Stock Market Faces Sharp Weekly Losses; Sensex and Nifty 50 Under Pressure Amid Geopolitical Tensions
    March 15, 2026, 5:18 AM EDT. The Indian stock market saw a sharp correction last week with the BSE Sensex dropping 5.52% to 74,563.92 and the Nifty 50 falling 5.31% to 23,151.10 amid escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia and rising crude oil prices. Concerns over the Strait of Hormuz's closure triggered fears of supply disruptions, weakening risk appetite. Expert Vinod Nair highlighted that market moves will hinge on conflict developments, crude trends, and inflation impacts. Ajit Mishra urged caution, recommending selective sector exposure and strict risk management amid volatility. Technically, the Sensex tests key support near 74,000 and faces resistance around 75,600.
