Market & Global News

India

  • Markets close sharply lower: Nifty 50 shed 207.95 pts (−0.86%) to 23,842.65; Sensex fell 702.68 pts (−0.91%) to 76,847.57, as rising crude and Middle East escalation dampened risk appetite.
  • Extended trading holiday: BSE and NSE closed from April 14 (Ambedkar Jayanti) through April 19 — a six-session gap. F&O participants should review open positions.

Global

  • US Navy blockades Strait of Hormuz: Following the collapse of US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad, President Trump ordered a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz effective April 13, 2026 — intercepting all vessels paying tolls to Iran. Brent crude surged ~7% to ~$102/barrel; WTI rose to ~$104/barrel. The Strait has been disrupted since February 28 when the US-Israel air campaign began. Iran accounts for roughly 4% of global crude supply. For India, which imports ~85% of its crude requirements, crude above $100 widens the current account deficit, pressures the rupee, and raises domestic inflation risk. (Bloomberg, Al Jazeera, 13 Apr)
