The Day, decoded.
Indian markets fell sharply on Thursday, April 23, 2026, marking a second consecutive day of losses as the Sensex tumbled 852.49 points to settle at 77,664, driven by a surge in crude oil prices ($100+/barrel) and foreign fund outflows. The Nifty 50 failed to hold 24,000, with major selling in IT, auto, and financial sectors.
