Stock Market Live Updates: Indian benchmark indices saw another low opening on Friday as crude oil prices again crossed the $100-mark after a brief respite. At the open, Nifty opened 178 points lower at 23,462 while Sensex fell 500 points to 75,488 as crude oil surges and rupee hits new low against the US dollar.
Earlier, GIFT Nifty on the NSE IX -- an early indicator of the markets -- traded lower by 154 points, or 0.65 per cent, at 23,557.50.
Besides oil concern, the markets are also under pressure as Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have continued heavy selling. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) continue to provide support.
Previously on Thursday, markets closed sharply lower. Auto, consumer, and financial stocks led the selloff, while select commodity counters saw some buying interest.
