Market Overview

Indian equity markets ended a volatile session in the red on Monday, though they recovered sharply from steep opening losses. The market opened with a significant gap-down, triggered by the collapse of US-Iran talks and a subsequent surge in crude oil prices above $100 per barrel, which stoked fears of inflation and economic slowdown. The India VIX, a measure of market volatility, jumped nearly 10% to over 20, reflecting heightened uncertainty among investors.

Despite the recovery, the overall market breadth was negative, with decliners outnumbering advancers. Sectoral performance was weak across the board, with PSU Banks, Auto, and Realty indices being the hardest hit, each falling by 1-2%. The persistent selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained a key concern, adding to the downward pressure on the market.
