India’s BSE Sensex opened about 0.9% lower at 75,355 on Tuesday, marking a fourth consecutive session of losses, pressured by higher oil prices and growing perceptions that a US-Iran ceasefire or settlement remains unstable. Crude prices surged again after remarks suggested that US-Iran negotiations were nearing collapse, reigniting concerns over prolonged supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The rupee closed at a record low, adding pressure on foreign flows and imported inflation. Foreign investors sold INR 84.38 billion on Monday, the largest outflow since April 24, while domestic institutions bought INR 59.4 billion, partly offsetting the selling. India’s April inflation data is also due later today, with estimates pointing to a rise to 3.8% from 3.4% in March, moving closer to the central bank’s 4% target. Among individual stocks, notable laggards included Billionbrains (-4.2%), Vodafone (-3.7%), Infosys (-3.6%), JSW Energy (-7.9%), TCS (-3.4%), and Kalyan (-3.4%).
