Indian equities post worst September quarter in over a decade
The Sensex fell nearly 4.9% in Q2FY27, reversing a 6.3% gain in Q1FY27 as crude oil and foreign outflows weighed on sentiment.
Indian equities ended the September quarter, Q2FY27, with declines that marked their worst performance in more than a decade, as surging crude oil and persistent foreign capital outflows weighed on indices.
According to LiveMint Markets, the Sensex fell nearly 4.9% in Q2FY27 after gaining 6.3% in Q1FY27, with the market shifting from earlier gains into a corrective phase.
The outlet cited global pressures including rising geopolitical tensions, US 10-year Treasury yield increases, and volatile crude oil prices, alongside domestic concerns tied to an uneven monsoon season and a rainfall deficit in key agricultural regions.
LiveMint Markets also flagged investor caution around potential corporate margin pressure and geopolitical risk, saying near-term market movement is expected to remain constrained.
