Indian benchmark indices continued their downward trajectory for the second consecutive session, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and persistent global trade uncertainties dampened investor sentiment. The sell-off was broad-based, with all major sectoral indices ending in the red. The India VIX surged over 7%, indicating elevated market volatility and growing investor caution.

A significant rise in crude oil prices, triggered by escalating unrest in the Middle East, was the primary driver behind the day's decline. However, some respite came from a moderation in Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation, which provided limited support to market sentiment.
The Sensex closed the day lower by 573.38 points, or 0.70%, settling at 81,118.60. Meanwhile, the Nifty fell by 169.60 points, or 0.68%, to close at 24,718.60.
Barring the media sector, the market witnessed widespread losses across key segments:
FMCG
PSU Banks
Oil & Gas
Power
Telecom
Each of these sectors recorded declines in the range of 0.5% to 1%. The overall market weakness also weighed on the broader indices, with both the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices slipping by 0.3% each, indicating mild profit booking.
