Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty reclaims 23,700, remains over 300 points lower

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Indian markets have slumped into the red chasm; the Nifty has fallen over 450 points, falling to the 23,600 mark. The Sensex index is down over 1,500 points, slumping to 76,000.

This comes to pass after the failure of the US-Iran talks in Islamabad over the weekend, followed by US President Donald Trump's threats on the Strait of Hormuz and the subsequent sell-off in US futures, with a rise in crude oil prices.

Both Brent and WTI are back above the mark of $100 a barrel.

Some of the biggest losers among the Nifty 500 stocks include Jyoti CNC, Cohance Life, Ola Electric, Intellect India, Signature Global, and

Bank of India among others.

The banking index will also be in focus as HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Yes Bank report their results this Saturday.
