The Indian market saw a significant downturn today, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The attacks on oil tankers in Iraqi waters and Iran's military actions have led to fears of oil supply disruptions, pushing global oil prices higher. This has negatively impacted sectors sensitive to oil prices, especially banking and energy. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) pulled out ₹6,267.31 Cr, further exacerbating market declines.
