No major economic impact of Iran-Israel conflict, but vigil up: India official
AP A man walks at the scene of an explosion in a residence compound in northern Tehran, Iran. The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict is unlikely to have any major economic impact on India unless it escalates into a broader and protracted regional conflagration but the government is keeping a close watch on the evolving situation, a senior official said. The conflict, however, could potentially stoke volatility in global crude oil prices, capital flows, currency movement and shipping costs in the short term, the official conceded. While it's "too early" to gauge the precise impact on India, the finance ministry and regulators would continue to maintain heightened vigil in view of the volatility across markets, the official told given its strong macroeconomic fundamentals, India is on a strong footing to tide over any such global crisis without much bruise, he said. He also ruled out any sharp and durable impact of the crisis on non-energy commodity prices globally over the medium term. Indian stocks fell on Friday tracking a global sell-off and the rupee depreciated against the dollar as worries about the Israel-Iran conflict weighed down investor benchmark Sensex and Nifty nosedived 0.7% each on Friday. The rupee depreciated 0.6% to close at a two-month low of 86.09 against the greenback, as the dollar index strengthened with investors scrambling for safe haven crude oil prices spiked 12% to $78.5 per barrel in the early hours of Friday morning following the Israeli strike. The prices, however, pulled back to less than $75 a barrel after reports emerged that Israel had not targeted Iran's oil infrastructure but limited its strike to Tehran's nuclear facilities. The Israeli strikes have raised fears if Iran could retaliate by trying to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital choke point for about a fifth of the global oil supply. In that case, shipping and related insurance costs could rise US gold futures inched up more than 1% to touch its peak in nearly two months amid heightened demand for haven assets.

ET Market Watch: Friday the 13th Crash: Sensex Sinks, Crude Spikes, Gold Nears Record
Transcript Welcome to ET Market Watch, your quick fix on the day's biggest market movers. I am Neha Vashisht Mahajan - your host of the evening. It's Friday, June 13. Today was a turbulent day for investors, both emotionally and financially. Let's start with the numbers. The Sensex fell 573 points to close at 81,118, while the Nifty50 ended 169 points lower, settling at 24,718. Earlier in the day, markets were in freefall — with the Sensex down over 1,300 points and Nifty hitting an intraday low of 24,473. So, what triggered the sell-off? Reason #1: Israel strikes Iran In a dramatic escalation of Middle East tensions, Israel launched a preemptive military strike on Iran's capital, Tehran. The airstrikes reportedly targeted nuclear sites, missile factories, and top Iranian commanders, including Revolutionary Guards chief Hossein Salami, whose death has been confirmed by Iranian state media. A state of emergency has been declared in Israel, and markets fear retaliatory attacks. Washington has distanced itself from the strike, calling it a 'unilateral action.' This geopolitical flashpoint shook global markets — and India wasn't spared. Reason #2: Crude oil prices spiked Brent crude surged over 6.6% to $74.15, after hitting $78.50 — the highest since January. WTI crude wasn't far behind, rising 7.3% to $72.91. Markets are worried that if Iran retaliates by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, oil supply could be severely restricted. And we've seen this story before — back in 2022, similar fears sent energy prices soaring. Reason #3: Global sell-off The ripple effect extended beyond oil. Asian markets tumbled — Japan's Nikkei, South Korea's KOSPI, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng all lost over 1%. In Europe, the DAX, CAC 40, and Euro Stoxx followed suit. The mood? Risk-off. Safe-haven rally As panic set in, investors fled to safety. Gold shot up to $3,416 per ounce, approaching its all-time high. The Swiss franc and Japanese yen gained. US 10-year Treasury yields dropped to a one-month low of 4.31%. And the Dollar Index climbed 0.5% — classic flight-to-safety. Closing Thought: The BSE's market capitalisation dropped by ₹2.17 lakh crore, wiping out a chunk of investor wealth in just a few hours. It's a reminder that in today's connected world, geopolitics and markets move hand in hand. That's all for today on ET Market Watch. We'll keep watching the numbers — and the world behind them.
