Stock market today declined more than 1% on March 2 amid weak global cues, as escalating US–Iran tensions pushed crude oil prices sharply higher and weighed on investor sentiment.

The market opened lower amid rising geopolitical concerns, dragging Nifty near 24,600 in early trade. Although there was some recovery during the session, selling pressure persisted and the index finally closed below the 24,900 mark.

Markets will remain shut on March 3 (Tuesday) on account of Holi.
