India’s BSE Sensex slipped about 1.0%, or 710 points, to 74,188 on Friday, weighed down by surging crude oil prices, foreign fund outflows and escalating Middle East tensions. The seizure of Yemen’s port of Mocha by Iran-aligned Houthis raised concerns over disruptions to Red Sea shipping, while traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained restricted. Brent crude climbed toward $109 a barrel as disruptions around key shipping routes raised concerns over energy supplies, threatening to widen India’s import bill and fuel inflation. The rupee remained under pressure after weakening to 95.44 per dollar, while rising US Treasury yields added to the risk-off mood. Finance, producer manufacturing, and non-energy mineral stocks were the biggest drags. Notable laggards included HDFC Bank (-2.5%), BSE Ltd. (-3.2%), Tata Steel (-2.3%) and Bajaj Finance (-2.2%) were among the biggest losers, while HCLTech (1.2%), Tech Mahindra (1.0%) and Infosys (0.6%) gained.
