Stock market today: Indian stock markets experienced a significant decline on Friday morning, leading many to label it a "Black Friday" for investors. Both major indices opened significantly lower, responding sharply to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The Nifty 50 index dropped to 24,473.00, a decrease of 415.20 points or -1.67 percent, while the BSE Sensex fell to 80,429.54, down by 1262.44 points or -1.55 percent during early trading.
This drastic drop followed Israel's launch of an attack on Iran early Friday, heightening concerns about a potential wider regional conflict.
The United States issued a statement describing the attack as a unilateral military action by Israel and cautioned Iran against retaliating by targeting US bases and facilities in the area.
Markets worldwide reacted with turmoil as the situation remains unpredictable. US futures and major Asian indices also saw significant declines as investors hurried to minimize their risk exposure.
