India’s Sensex, Nifty fall to 75,060.61 and 23,506.10 as Brent nears $100 a barrel
Escalating West Asia tensions are lifting Brent toward USD 100, reviving energy-supply disruption risk and pushing a higher geopolitical premium into crude. The oil shock is pressuring equities via inflation and margin concerns, while also raising risks to India's rupee and current account amid reported foreign outflows. Near-term cross-asset volatility is likely to stay elevated, with oil as the primary macro transmission channel.
