Sensex falls 1,250 points as rate and geopolitical worries weigh

Source: NDTV · 24 Sep 2026, 10:40 UTC

India’s Sensex fell 1,250 points to a three-month low, NDTV reports. The decline came as expectations of another US Federal Reserve rate increase rose while geopolitical uncertainty remained high. The supplied material does not provide closing figures, sector-by-sector losses or investor comments.

India’s Sensex fell 1,250 points to a three-month low, according to NDTV. The report attributed the market decline to two principal concerns: rising expectations of another US Federal Reserve interest-rate increase and continued geopolitical uncertainty. The combination of possible tighter US monetary policy and broader international uncertainty weighed on the share market during the session.

The available material does not state the index’s closing level or identify the percentage decline. It also provides no breakdown of the performance of individual sectors or companies. No comments from investors, analysts or the Federal Reserve are included in the supplied report.

The report’s explanation for the fall is therefore limited to the changing expectations about US interest rates and the persistence of geopolitical risks.
