Stock Market Today

  • India Stock Market Plunges Amid Iran War, Rupee Hits Record Low
    March 13, 2026, 5:15 AM EDT. India's stock market experienced a sharp selloff on Friday, with the S&P BSE Sensex dropping over 2% and the NSE Nifty 50 falling 2.22%. The turmoil followed rising crude oil prices above $100 a barrel due to escalating conflict in Iran, raising concerns about inflation and fiscal stability in Asia's third-largest economy. The Indian rupee plunged to a record low of 92.4325 per dollar, losing around 1.5% since the outbreak, despite Reserve Bank of India's interventions. Bond yields climbed amid fears of a prolonged high-interest environment. Analysts warn that sustained oil prices near $90 could push India's inflation to 5-5.5% in the fiscal year ending March 2027, adding pressure on an economy heavily reliant on oil imports. Key sectors like industrials, metals, and infrastructure declined sharply, while defensive stocks showed resilience.
