Benchmarks slide as crude climbs, Sensex sheds 583 pts, Nifty below 24K
Equity benchmark indices tumbled on Thursday as surging crude oil prices, weak Asian cues and relentless foreign fund outflows battered investor sentiment. The Nifty slipped below the 24,000 mark, weighed down by banking stocks. Most sectoral indices ended in the red, with the Nifty IT index bucking the trend. Brent crude climbed to around $120 per barrel amid rising fears of supply disruptions linked to potential curbs on Irans ports, fuelling inflation concerns in India. Global markets offered little support, pressured by elevated energy prices and uncertainty over the Federal Reserves policy stance. Meanwhile, a sharp slide in the rupee to a record low added to the strain on domestic equities.
Where to invest now: SBI MF prefers large caps, pharma, PSU banks
Ruchit Mehta, Head of Research at SBI Mutual Fund, prefers CDMO and hospital plays within pharma, citing stronger growth prospects over generics.

PSU banks may outperform in the near term due to stronger loan growth, but asset quality risks could emerge over the next 2–3 quarters if global disruptions persist.
Sensex dives 850 pts, Nifty slips below 24,200 amid oil shock and weak global cues
The equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled on Thursday, extending losses for a second straight session. Firm crude oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions rattled sentiment. Brent crude surged for the fourth consecutive day to around $103 per barrel amid uncertainty over US-Iran talks and fresh concerns around the Strait of Hormuz. Weak Asian cues and persistent foreign fund outflows deepened the sell-off. The Nifty slipped below the 24,200 mark, dragged by auto, PSU banks and consumer durables stocks, while pharma and healthcare shares saw selective buying. Investors stayed cautious, closely tracking the ongoing Q4 earnings season for further triggers.
