The Indian stock market came under intense selling pressure on Wednesday as the escalating conflict in the Middle East unsettled investors, triggering sharp volatility across global asset classes. The US–Israel–Iran war pushed crude oil prices higher on supply disruption concerns, while boosting safe-haven demand for gold and silver. Domestic benchmark indices extended losses and slipped below key technical levels. The BSE Sensex declined 1,456.79 points, or 1.82%, to 78,782.06, while the Nifty 50 fell 484.85 points, or 1.95%, to 24,380.85. The Bank Nifty dropped 2.25% to 58,491.20. Broader markets mirrored the weakness. The Nifty Smallcap 100 and the Nifty Midcap 100 indices declined more than 2.7% each, while the India VIX, a gauge of market volatility, surged over 23%, reflecting heightened investor anxiety.
