India’s benchmark indices fell for the third straight session on Monday as rate hike fears, rising bond yields, and high crude oil prices hurt investor sentiment, triggering risk-off bets.

The Sensex fell as much as 1,346 points, or 2.3 per cent, before recouping some losses. The index ended the session at 57,621, a decline of 1,024 points, or 1.75 per cent. The Nifty, on the other hand, slipped 303 points, or 1.73
