Stock market update
The Indian stock market continues to be heavily influenced by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. After posting a strong gain of around 6% last week, India’s key benchmark indices — the Sensex and Nifty 50 — started Monday’s session on a weak note, tumbling over 2%.
The Sensex plunged nearly 1,700 points, or more than 2%, hitting an intraday low of 75,868, while the Nifty 50 dropped 500 points, or 2%, to touch a low of 23,556 during the day.
The market fell after the weekend ceasefire negotiations between the US and Iran concluded without an agreement, undermining hopes that one of the most critical global market concerns—the ongoing US-Iran conflict—would be resolved amicably. Adding to the uncertainty, Washington’s plan to impose a blockade around the Strait of Hormuz has heightened fears of a potential global energy supply disruption.
“Indian equity markets opened on a sharply negative note, reversing the recent recovery trend, as escalating geopolitical tensions weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The earlier optimism surrounding the temporary US–Iran ceasefire has faded after talks collapsed over the weekend, raising fears of a prolonged conflict and potential supply disruptions in the Middle East. Overall, sentiment remains cautious and negative, with near-term direction expected to be driven by geopolitical developments, crude oil trends, and foreign investor activity,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
