Investors suffered heavy losses

The sharp decline in the stock market has directly impacted investor wealth. According to data, the total market cap of companies listed on the BSE has declined by approximately ₹19 lakh crore, dealing a significant financial blow to investors. This global situation has caused significant losses to investors.

These sectors saw the biggest decline

Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, the Indian domestic market has seen sharp declines in PSU banks, tourism, airline stocks, real estate, banking, and the auto sector. The disruption to crude oil and gas supplies is causing double damage to Indian companies.

Additionally, the shares of companies that rely on Middle Eastern countries for their revenues are also turning red like tomatoes. However, the shares of some defense sector companies have seen a surge in the meantime.  

Crude oil prices may have a widespread impact

Rising tensions in the Middle East are causing instability in global markets. Crude oil prices are expected to rise above $100 per barrel. According to a report published in ET, experts believe that the current decline in the stock market cannot be considered a simple correction.

Rather, this could be the beginning of a long-term weakness. If crude oil prices rise sharply, it could have a direct impact on inflation, which would impact many other sectors of the economy as well. Furthermore, the risk of inflation for ordinary people would increase.
