  "account": "The Sensex, which tracks the performance of 30 large and well-established Indian companies on the Bombay Stock Exchange, experienced a sharp decline on Monday, September 28, 2026. The benchmark index closed at 72,771.72, down 1,124.02 points, or 1.52 percent, marking its lowest closing level since March 30, 2026. The Nifty 50, a similar index for the National Stock Exchange, fell 360.25 points, or 1.56 percent, to 22,780.25. Among the 50 stocks in the Nifty, only three gained while the remaining 47 closed lower. The Nifty PSU Bank index, which tracks the performance of 12 Public Sector Undertaking banks, saw the steepest decline among the indices at 3.24 percent, causing significant disruption in the financial markets. The slump in the Sensex and Nifty was attributed to factors such as rising crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, foreign fund outflows, higher US bond yields, and weak performance of Asian markets. The rupee also depreciated against the US dollar, falling 28 paise to 96.03. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 3,693.93 crore on Friday, adding to the downward pressure on the markets. The Sensex's weakest performer was Larsen & Toubro, which fell 2.81 percent, while major stock losers included Power Grid, Adani Ports, HDFC Bank, and Hindustan Unilever.",
