Two days of mkt slump wipes out Rs 8.35 lakh cr investors' wealth
In two days, the benchmark has lost 1,396.54 points or 1.69 per cent. Falling for the second day in a row on Friday, the 30-share BSE Sensex dived 573.38 points or 0.70 per cent to settle at 81,118.60. During the morning trade, it tanked 1,337.39 points or 1.63 per cent to 80,354.59. New Delhi, Jun 13 (PTI) Equity investors become poorer by Rs 8.35 lakh crore in two days of market fall, where the benchmark Sensex dropped nearly 2 per cent amid heightened Middle East tensions, which drove Brent crude oil prices to sky-high levels. The market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms eroded by Rs 8,35,799.85 crore to Rs 4,47,21,343.34 crore (USD 5.19 trillion) in two days. 'Indian equities fell sharply, reacting to weak global cues and a surge in crude oil prices after Israel launched military strikes on Iran earlier today. The sharp rise in crude prices weighed on the Indian rupee and led to selling pressure in OMCs, paints, tyres and lubricant stocks,' Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Research, Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said. Global oil benchmark Brent crude jumped 7.61 per cent to USD 74.64 a barrel. 'Indian equity markets endured a sharp sell-off on Friday, with the Nifty-50 and Sensex both off their intra-day lows but still closing with significant losses. The market faced pressure from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, surging crude oil prices, and broad-based sectoral weakness,' Satish Chandra Aluri, Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk, said. Among the Sensex firms, Adani Ports, ITC, State Bank of India, IndusInd Bank, HDFC Bank, Titan, Kotak Mahindra Bank and UltraTech Cement were the major laggards. On the other hand, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services, Maruti and Sun Pharma were the gainers. The BSE midcap gauge declined 0.32 per cent and smallcap index dipped 0.30 per cent. Among BSE sectoral indices, services tumbled 2.06 per cent, bankex (1.01 per cent), FMCG (0.94 per cent), financial services (0.85 per cent), metal (0.81 per cent) and power (0.75 per cent). Healthcare index and realty were the only winners. As many as 2,469 stocks declined while 1,516 advanced and 137 remained unchanged on the BSE.

Israel-Iran conflict to impact oil supply to India, increase export costs by 40-50%
Israel's attack on Iran and heightened tensions in the area pose significant risks to India in terms of curtailed supplies of oil and a 40-50% increase in the export costs, according to analysts and trade experts. Early on Friday (June 13, 2025), Israel said it had struck 'dozens' of nuclear and military targets in Iran, following which Iran reportedly retaliated with drone strikes of its own. Following these developments, global oil prices jumped about 8% in a single day, sparking fears that a sustained escalation could push inflation in India up, since it imports about 80% of its oil requirement. Problems for India 'The ongoing Iran-Israel conflict is likely to pose risks to oil supply even though India does not directly import large volumes of oil from Iran,' Amit Kumar, Partner and Energy & Renewables Industry Leader at Grant Thornton Bharat told The Hindu. 'India imports more than 80% of its crude oil needs. Hence, even if direct imports from Iran are minimal, global price spikes due to conflict will raise crude oil import costs.' Further, Mr. Kumar said that around 20% of global oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is located between Iran to the north and the Arabian Peninsula to the south. 'Any disruption around the Strait of Hormuz may affect oil shipments coming from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE who are key suppliers for India,' he added. Disruptions in this area could also significantly hurt India's exports in terms of time as well as costs, according to Pankaj Chadha, Chairman of the Engineering Exports Promotion Council of India. 'The escalation of the conflict in the Middle East once again closes access to the Suez Canal and the Red Sea, which will have a huge cost and time escalation for Indian exports by ship,' Mr. Chadda told The Hindu. 'Going around the Cape of Good Hope will add about 15-20 days per ship and $500-1,000 per container, which effectively works out to a 40-50% increase in costs,' he added. Impact on prices While oil prices immediately surged following Israel's attack, they are expected to settle back down, according to Norbert Rücker, Head of Economics and Next Generation Research at Julius Baer. 'Our best guess is that this latest conflict eruption follows the usual pattern, with prices rising temporarily before returning to previous levels,' Mr. Rücker said. 'The oil market is very resilient today and supplies are unlikely at risk. Storage is ample, spare capacity plentiful, and exports grow outside of the Middle East.' The price of gold, too, surged to above Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams following the attack as investors flocked to 'safe haven' assets. 'In times of conflict and uncertainty, gold remains the go-to hedge for both institutional and retail investors,' Amit Jain, co-founder of Ashika Global Family Office Services said. 'What we're witnessing isn't just a knee-jerk reaction. It's a continuation of a broader structural uptrend driven by central bank accumulation, weakening fiat confidence, and long-term inflationary concerns.'

Israel-Iran tensions: Hardeep Puri says India has adequate energy supplies
India, the world's third-largest oil importer and fourth biggest gas buyer, has enough energy supplies for the coming months, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said amid escalating tensions in the globe's biggest energy supply regions. In a post on X, the minister said he held a periodic review of energy availability scenario with the captains of the Indian oil industry. "India's energy strategy is shaped by successfully navigating the trilemma of energy availability, affordability and sustainability," he said. "We have adequate energy supplies for the coming months." Global oil prices have jumped to their highest level since January after Israel struck Iran, in a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The rate of the benchmark Brent crude was up by more than 10 per cent shortly after the news emerged, but eased a little. Brent was trading close to USD 75 a barrel, up more than 5 per cent over Thursday's close. India imports more than 85 per cent of its crude oil needs and roughly half of its natural gas requirement. More than 40 per cent of the oil imports and half of the gas imports come from the Middle East. Despite the spike on Friday, oil prices are still more than 10 per cent lower than where they were at the same point last year. They are also well below over USD 100 a barrel rate seen in early 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia is India's largest supplier of crude oil, which is refined into fuels like petrol and diesel in refineries. Qatar is India's biggest supplier of natural gas, which is used to make fertilisers, generate electricity and turned into CNG to run automobiles and piped to household kitchens for cooking.
