The key equity indices ended lower on Tuesday, extending their decline for the second consecutive trading session. Sentiment remained subdued amid rising crude oil prices on concerns over an escalating conflict in the Middle East. India is particularly vulnerable to higher fuel prices as it imports about 85% of its crude oil requirements. Firm global bond yields further weighed on investor sentiment and heightened concerns over inflation and interest rates. The Nifty closed below the 23,650 level, dragged by weakness in private banks, oil & gas and IT shares.
