Sensex, Nifty turn lower; broader markets crash as oil tops $116/barrel. What lies ahead?

The Indian stock market, represented by the Sensex and Nifty, turned lower as crude oil prices reached a new high of $116 per barrel. This sharp increase in oil prices has raised concerns about inflation and economic growth, which could have a negative impact on the overall market. The broader markets, including midcap and smallcap indices, have crashed more severely than the Sensex and Nifty, indicating weak market breadth. This could signal a more challenging period ahead for investors.

Why it matters
