Indian stock markets ended Tuesday slightly lower as elevated crude oil prices and uncertainty ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision weighed on investor sentiment.
The Nifty 50 declined 0.06% to close at 22,738.55, while the BSE Sensex fell 0.16% to 73,497.28, according to Reuters. Brent crude prices remained near $115 per barrel, raising concerns about inflation and corporate costs in India.
Information technology stocks faced selling pressure, with Infosys falling 2.8% after lowering its FY2027 revenue growth outlook.
In contrast, Tata Consumer Products gained 5.9% following stronger-than-expected quarterly profits. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks also outperformed the benchmark indices.
Investors will continue monitoring crude oil prices, corporate earnings and the US Federal Reserve’s policy decision for further market direction.
