Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves
The Indian equity markets witnessed a massive crash on Monday, primarily driven by a sharp escalation in the US-Iran conflict. This geopolitical instability sparked fears of major disruptions to global energy supplies, causing Brent crude prices to surge above $110 per barrel. The heightened risk-off sentiment led to broad-based selling across almost all sectors, with consumer durables, realty, and metal indices being the hardest hit.
Further compounding the market's woes was the continued weakness of the Indian rupee, which touched a record low of approximately 93.90 against the US dollar. This currency depreciation, combined with relentless selling by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), added significant pressure to domestic benchmarks. The India VIX, a measure of market volatility, surged by over 17%, reflecting the high level of anxiety among investors. While most stocks succumbed to the pressure, defensive plays in the IT sector and energy-related gainers like ONGC provided marginal support as they benefited from the spike in crude oil prices.
