Indian stocks slide in early trade as Brent crude climbs to $107.1 and foreign funds sell ₹5,353.22 crore
Indian equities fell sharply as Brent crude rose to ~USD 107/bbl amid West Asia uncertainty and fears of supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz. Elevated oil prices tighten financial conditions for importers and pressure margins, while sizable FII selling reinforced risk-off positioning. Broader Asian and U.S. market weakness added to negative cross-asset sentiment, increasing near-term volatility across emerging markets.
