The recent rate hike by the US Fed has further led to more FII selling in the domestic market, selling shares worth Rs 5,517.08 crore on Friday. On Monday, domestic equity market benchmark indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 opened in red following the sharp fall in SGX Nifty.

Asian markets opened lower on Monday as US stock futures were cautious on rate worries, while a tough lockdown in Shanghai caused worries about global economic growth and possible recession. Oil prices dropped in early Asian trade as investors tracked talks at the European Union on a Russian oil embargo which is likely to tighten global supplies.

The Sensex was down 612.05 points or 1.12% at 54,223.53, and the Nifty was down 174.50 points or 1.06% at 16,236.80. About 816 shares have advanced, 1434 shares declined, and 138 shares are unchanged. India VIX advanced 4.25% trading at 22.15 in the first few minutes of the trading session.
