Nifty Begins Week Under Pressure After Four Consecutive Weekly Losses

The Indian stock market enters the new week after a challenging phase, with both the Sensex and Nifty recording their fourth consecutive weekly decline. The Nifty had fallen around 1.15% during the previous week, while the Sensex also registered a decline.

The recent weakness has been driven by a combination of high crude oil prices, foreign investor selling and uncertainty surrounding global interest rates. Although the market witnessed a modest recovery on Friday, investor confidence remains fragile.

Analysts believe the coming days could remain volatile. The movement of crude oil, developments in the Middle East and institutional flows are likely to play an important role in determining the market’s direction.
