Friday the 13th jitters: Sensex tanks over 1,100 pts, Nifty slips below 24,700 as Israel-Iran tensions flare
Indian benchmark equity indices plunged in early trade on Friday, mirroring sharp losses in Asian markets after Israel launched military strikes on Iran, heightening geopolitical tensions in the oil-rich Middle East. At around 9:19 am, the BSE Sensex was down 1,163 points, or 1.42%, at 80,528, while the Nifty50 fell 284 points, or 1.13%, to 24,608. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ballina: Waterproof Your Home [Discover] Waterproofing Services Learn More Undo Among sectors, Nifty Oil & Gas was the worst performer, falling 1.6%, dragged by losses in Mahanagar Gas, IGL, BPCL, and IOC. Meanwhile Nifty Bank, IT, Auto, Metal, and PSU Bank indices declined between 1% and 1.5%. In the broader market, the Nifty Midcap index slipped 1.1%, and the Nifty Smallcap100 dropped 1.5%. The market capitalisation of all listed companies on the BSE fell by Rs 5.52 lakh crore to Rs 444.06 lakh crore. Here are key reasons behind today's stock market crash Live Events 1) Israeli strike on Iran The selloff was triggered by Israel's military strike on Iran early Friday. Israel said it targeted nuclear facilities, missile factories, and top military commanders in a 'preemptive strike' to stop Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. A state of emergency was declared in Israel in anticipation of retaliatory missile and drone attacks. Iranian state media confirmed the death of Hossein Salami, Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Israeli officials also claimed that several senior Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists were likely killed. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the strike a "unilateral action" by Israel and clarified that Washington was not involved. The attack comes amid stalled nuclear talks, with a sixth round of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran scheduled in Oman on Sunday. 2) Oil prices surge on supply fears Brent crude futures jumped $6.29, or 9.07%, to $75.65 a barrel by 03:15 GMT after touching an intraday high of $78.50 — the highest since January 27. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed $6.43, or 9.45%, to $74.47 a barrel, after hitting $77.62, the highest since January 21. These were the sharpest intraday gains for both benchmarks since 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, leading to a spike in energy prices.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra breaks Taycan GT's electric Nurburgring record
China's Xiaomi has shattered the Nürburgring lap record for electric production cars, as it promised to do. It has sent its hyper-powered SU7 Ultra saloon around the Green Hell almost three seconds quicker than the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. The car produced by the smartphone giant features a combined output of 1139kW from its tri-motor set-up. Equipped with an optional track package, it looped the German track in 7min 4.957sec. That eclipses the Taycan GT's 7min 7.55sec time. The road-legal version of the SU7 Ultra is only 20sec shy of the time posted by the track-only prototype that Xiaomi created last year. British engineering firm Prodrive helped with its development. With four-wheel drive, it can run 0-100 in just under 2.0sec, en route to a top of 331km/h, making it one of the fastest EVs available today. It's on sale in China and exports to the West are being considered. Special motor The SU7 Ultra uses Xiaomi's HyperEngine V8S electric motor. It takes that name because it delivers power on a level similar to a petrol V8. Evidently, it spins to 27,200rpm. Each of the rear-mounted V8S motors creates 425kW, while the front-mounted V6S motor is good for 289kW. This gives the SU7 Ultra 1139kW in total, a 644kW increase over the standard four-wheel drive SU7. In contrast, the tri-motor Taycan Turbo GT delivers a combined 814kW. The SU7 Ultra evidently gets to 200km/h in 5.86sec to the Taycan Turbo GT's 6.4sec. The latter's top speed is 275km/h and its 0-100 time is 2.3sec. CATL supplies the SU7 Ultra with a Qilin 2.0 battery which has capacity of 94kWh. That gives it a claimed range of just over 600km. Chassis updates SU7 Ultra uses Bilstein Evo T1 dampers alongside other chassis updates which include an AP Racing brake system. Rotors up front are 430mm and 410mm on the back. They are carbon ceramic units. Six-pot calipers for the leading wheels are aided by single floating rear calipers. Despite its pace, this isn't the quickest SU7 Ultra around the Nurburgring. One with a carbon fibre body holds the lap record for a four-door saloon. It completed the circuit in 6min 46.874sec with British racer David Pittard at the wheel. Xiaomi claims wet weight of under 2400kg for the SU7 Ultra.

Oil spike, risk off on Middle East flare up may drag Indian rupee past 86/USD
MUMBAI: The Indian rupee is expected to slip past 86 to the U.S. dollar at the open on Friday, hit by surging oil prices and sliding risk assets after Israel attacked targets in Iran. The 1-month non-deliverable forward indicated a open in the 86.02 to 86.10 range, versus 85.60 in the previous session. Brent crude soared 11%, U.S. equity futures plunged 1.8% and safe-haven demand boosted the struggling dollar. 'The real concern for the rupee isn't just today's oil spike - it's the risk of a sustained rally if Middle East tensions deepen,' a currency trader at a Mumbai-based bank said. According to the trader, the 86.00 to 86.10 zone is a major support for the rupee, though he warned that defending it 'will be challenging'. Indian rupee ends a tad lower, hurt by corporate dollar bids, outflows Israel said it targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders on Friday, warning that it marked the beginning of a sustained campaign aimed at preventing Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Another report suggested that explosions were heard northeast of Iran's capital Tehran. The strikes by Israel came amid mounting tensions over U.S. efforts to halt Iran's production of atomic bomb materials. 'Markets will carefully assess the risk of escalation,' DBS Research said in a note. Safe-haven demand lifted the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc and helped the dollar index recover to the 98 handle. The 10-year U.S. yield dropped despite the jump in oil. Brent crude is potentially headed for its biggest one-day rise in over three years. Oil is a major component of India's import bill. A $10 barrel increase in crude can widen the current account deficit by up to 0.4% of GDP, economists estimate, and can add up to 35 basis points to headline consumer inflation.
