TLDR
📈 Market Recap: June 13, 2025
On Friday, June 13, 2025, Indian equity markets suffered their steepest single-day losses in over nine years for a Friday the 13th, as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a sharp rise in crude oil prices rattled investor sentiment. The BSE Sensex plunged 573 points (0.7%) to close at 81,118.60, while the NSE Nifty 50 dropped 169.6 points (0.68%) to settle at 24,718.60, snapping a recent winning streak. The Nifty Midcap100 and Nifty Smallcap100 indices also ended in the red, down 0.24% and 0.43% respectively. All 13 sectoral indices closed lower, with FMCG, PSU Banks, and Realty among the worst performers. The India VIX volatility index spiked 7.6% to 15.08, reflecting heightened market anxiety.
Key Drivers:
Geopolitical volatility: Escalating tensions between Israel and Iran triggered a risk-off sentiment, pulling oil and gas shares lower.
Oil price surge: A ~9% spike in crude due to Middle East concerns dented refining margins, dragging OMC and aviation stocks.
Corporate & banking sell-off: PSU banks and FMCG underperformed (-1%+), while midcaps/smallcaps also closed in negative territory.
