India’s BSE Sensex fell about 0.8% to close at 71,909.7 on Thursday, its lowest level since March and its fourth consecutive session of losses. Rising oil prices, continued foreign investor outflows and the absence of a visible diplomatic solution to the Middle East conflict weakened investor sentiment. Almost all sectors declined, while technology stocks and selected banks outperformed the broader market. The index lost about 2.7% for the week. Indian markets will be closed on Friday, October 2, for Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti.
