Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, jumped 2.18 percent to $115.1 per barrel. In the last two trading sessions, the Sensex fell by 3,325.9 points or 4.41 per cent, while the Nifty fell by 975.05 points or 4.18 per cent.For the entire financial year 2025-26, the Sensex fell by 5,467.37 points or 7 per cent, and the Nifty fell by 1,187.95 points or 5 per cent.Broader markets were also under pressure, with the BSE MidCap Select index falling 3.13 per cent and the SmallCap Select index falling 2.14 per cent.All sectoral indices ended in the red, with prices of automobiles, consumer goods, consumer durables, capital goods, real estate, private banks and PSU banks falling between 2 per cent and 4 per cent.The BSE PSU Bank Index fell by 4.60 per cent, followed by MidSmall Private Banks Quality Tilt (3.96 per cent), Bankex (3.80 per cent), Financial Services (3.46 per cent), Private Banks (3.43 per cent), BSE Top 10 Banks (3.40 per cent), Telecom (3.09 per cent) and Real Estate (3.03 per cent).“Banking stocks were among the major laggards following the Reserve Bank of India’s new restrictions on banks’ foreign exchange positions aimed at stabilizing the rupee, which led to sharp declines in major public and private sector lenders.“While valuations now look more positive after the recent correction, the trajectory of earnings revisions remains the key determinant of market direction. Continued volatility in oil prices and a weaker rupee may put pressure on input costs, increasing the risk of lower earnings in the near term,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited.Meanwhile, the rupee rose by 7 paise in a choppy session to close at 94.78 (provisionally) against the US dollar, after hitting an all-time low during the day at 95.22.In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi and Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell nearly 3 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng also ended lower.
