Nifty falls below 22,800 as oil and US yields rise
In short
Indian stocks fell sharply on Monday, and the Nifty closed below 22,800. Brent crude rose close to $107 a barrel, the US 10-year Treasury yield climbed above 5.2%, and foreign investors kept selling.
This matters because higher oil prices and higher yields can hurt markets and the rupee. The report does not say how long the pressure will last, but all sector groups ended lower.
