From the 30-Sensex firms, Eternal, InterGlobe Aviation, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Steel, UltraTech Cement and Kotak Mahindra Bank were among the biggest laggards.

However, Bharti Airtel, Mahindra & Mahindra, Adani Ports and Reliance Industries were among the gainers.

In Asian markets, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index traded in positive territory, while South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index and Shanghai’s SSE Composite index quoted lower.

Markets tank in early trade as Middle East tensions flare-up

admin — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 06:07:19 +0000

Equity benchmark indices tanked in early trade on April 19, taking their losing streak to the fifth day running, as escalating tensions in the Middle East weighed heavily on investors’ sentiment.

Fresh foreign fund outflows, uptick in Brent crude oil prices and decline in IT stocks also added to the overall weak sentiment in equities.

The 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 672.53 points to 71,816.46. The NSE Nifty dropped 218.2 points to 21,777.65.

From the Sensex basket, Infosys declined over 2% after the company’s revenue growth guidance for FY25 failed to meet market expectations.

The company expects a revenue growth of 1-3% in constant currency for FY25 and an operating margin of 20-22%.

“Infosys guided for 1-3% constant currency revenue growth for FY25, missing expectations,” as per a report by JM Financial Institutional Securities.

Axis Bank, HCL Technologies, Asian Paints, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services and Nestle India were the other major laggards.

ITC and HDFC Bank were the gainers.

In Asian markets, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong were quoting in the negative territory.

Wall Street ended mostly lower on Thursday.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 2.27% to USD 89.09 a barrel.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹4,260.33 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data.

“Reports of the feared escalation of the Iran-Israel tensions have spooked the markets. Distinct weakness in Asian markets and sharp cuts in US futures reflect heightened nervousness in equity markets,” said V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

Meanwhile, the 2024 Lok Sabha polls kicked off on Friday with the beginning of polling for the first phase.

The BSE benchmark tanked 454.69 points or 0.62% to settle at 72,488.99 on Thursday. The NSE Nifty declined 152.05 points or 0.69% to 21,995.85.
