The BSE Sensex fell 821.73 points and the Nifty 50 dropped 286 points at the open as US-Iran tensions drove a global risk-off sell-off. India's heavy dependence on imported crude oil makes its markets especially sensitive to Middle East conflict escalation.
The U.S. and Iran exchanged fire for a second time in three days near the Strait of Hormuz, with each side disputing who provoked the clash. Oil prices rose on the news, and the incidents are casting serious doubt on ongoing diplomatic talks between the two countries.
The US and Iran have exchanged strikes but both governments are signaling they want to avoid full-scale war. Proxy attacks, economic pressure, and oil market exposure keep the standoff volatile and make miscalculation the biggest near-term danger.
Oil prices rebounded Thursday after a 5% drop, as new US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz and Kuwait repelling drone attacks intensified supply fears. Washington and Tehran remain deadlocked over reopening the strait, keeping a floor under crude prices.
Global oil prices rose roughly 3% after U.S. military strikes on Iran raised fresh fears of supply disruption, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining partially restricted. The move puts pressure on oil-importing economies and clouds prospects for a diplomatic deal that could have added Iranian supply to global markets.
Brent crude crossed $100 a barrel after fresh US strikes on Iran and Tehran's warnings raised the risk of disruption to the Strait of Hormuz, the route for roughly a fifth of global oil trade. The move reverses optimism around a US-Iran deal and raises inflation risk for oil-importing economies.
Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have warned the U.S. may resume strikes on Iran as nuclear talks remain deadlocked. Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade is already pushing up global energy costs, with risks growing for oil markets and importing economies.
President Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is "on life support" after both sides exchanged fire over the weekend, calling Iran's peace proposal "garbage" and "unacceptable." A full breakdown raises immediate risks for Persian Gulf security and global oil prices.
The Indian rupee fell to a record low of 95.55 per US dollar, driven by rising oil prices tied to a fraying US-Iran ceasefire. India's heavy dependence on oil imports increases dollar demand and widens the trade deficit, putting direct pressure on the currency.
The Sensex crashed over 1,313 points on Monday and the rupee hit a record low as soaring crude oil prices and fading US-Iran peace hopes triggered heavy selling. India's heavy oil import dependence means higher crude directly pressures the currency, inflation outlook, and corporate margins.
Donald Trump rejected Iran's ceasefire response as "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE," sending oil prices surging more than 4%. Asian stocks traded mixed as the breakdown in U.S.-Iran talks raised fears of Middle East supply disruptions.
The Indian rupee dropped 139 paise to 94.90 against the dollar in early trade after President Trump rejected Iran's response to a US nuclear peace proposal. The geopolitical flare-up has raised fears of rising oil prices, which directly pressures India's import bill and currency.
President Trump warned that the US has Iran's enriched uranium under surveillance and will strike anyone who approaches it. The threat raises the risk of military escalation and could rattle oil markets given Iran's role in Gulf energy supply routes.
Iran has warned countries and firms against complying with US sanctions, as a commercial vessel was struck off Qatar and drone attacks were reported in the UAE and Kuwait. The simultaneous events raise regional security risk and could push up shipping insurance costs and energy supply concerns.
US oil prices jumped as tensions between the US and Iran intensified, stoking fears of supply disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz. Sustained price gains could push up fuel costs and complicate inflation management for central banks.
Iran's IRGC warned the US against attacking Iranian tankers as a US-Iran ceasefire holds in its early phase. Separately, Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed 24 people, keeping broader regional tensions elevated.
The Pentagon released video of US military strikes on two Iranian oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The incident raises immediate concerns about energy supply security and potential escalation in one of the world's most critical oil shipping lanes.
The UAE Defense Ministry said Iranian ballistic missiles and drones struck toward UAE territory, with air defenses intercepting five projectiles and three people wounded. The attack followed a separate U.S.-Iran military exchange, signaling a sharp escalation in the Gulf.
Oil prices rose after US and Iranian forces exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping lane. President Trump said the ceasefire between the two countries remains in place, limiting the market spike.
US and Iranian forces exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz, sending Brent crude prices higher. The strait carries roughly 20% of global oil supply, so any sustained disruption risks fuel price increases across major importing economies including India.
