- Stock market crash today (April 13, 2026): Nifty50 opens below 23,600; BSE Sensex down over 1,500 points as oil rises, US-Iran talks fail
- Indian shares open lower as oil rises after US-Iran talks fail
Indian equity markets witnessed a sharp sell-off, with the BSE Sensex plunging over 1,500 points and the Nifty 50 slipping below the crucial 23,600 mark. The fall was largely driven by a spike in global crude oil prices following the breakdown of US–Iran peace negotiations.
The surge in oil prices has raised serious concerns about inflation, fiscal pressure, and India’s widening import bill. Since India is heavily dependent on crude imports, any sustained rise in oil prices could impact corporate margins, especially in sectors like aviation, paints, and logistics.
Market experts believe that volatility may continue in the near term, as investors remain sensitive to geopolitical developments and global commodity price trends. Defensive sectors may outperform until stability returns.
