Markets Recover From Crash:

Sensex opens down 2.08% at 75,937, Nifty falls 1.92% to 23,589 after US-Iran talks collapse April 13. Indices recover intraday but remain cautious amid blockade announcement.

Oil Prices Surge Sharply:

Brent crude jumps 7% to $102/barrel, WTI surges 8% to $104. US announces naval blockade on Iranian ports after Islamabad peace talks fail. Strait of Hormuz, 20% global oil trade, under threat.

India Highly Vulnerable:

As major oil importer, India faces severe trade balance impact. Crude at $94-100 range threatens corporate margins. Rupee weakens, VIX spikes signaling heightened uncertainty. Risk-off sentiment dominates.

Sectoral Impact Mixed:

IT, Auto, FMCG stocks slump sharply. Energy, metal stocks see some support on commodity rally. Defense, media stocks outperform. Broader midcap/smallcap indices relatively resilient versus benchmarks.

Cautious Road Ahead:

Analysts warn against bottom-fishing until geopolitical stability returns. FII selling continues, 10th straight session. Pakistan's PSX crashes 5,000 points reflecting regional instability. Markets eye 7:30 PM blockade deadline nervously.
