Stocks to buy: Sagar Doshi suggests Laurus Labs, Data Patterns, Syrma SGS shares to buyAI Quick ReadStock market today: The domestic benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, witnessed declines on Tuesday, April 7, impacted by concerns over an escalation in the conflict in the Middle East and a critical deadline set by US President Donald Trump for reaching an agreement.
The Nifty 50 dropped by 0.65% to 22,818.80, while the Sensex decreased by 0.64% to 73,639.40 as of 9:50 IST.
Fourteen out of the 16 major sectors saw a downturn. Additionally, the broader small-cap and mid-cap indices fell by 0.5% and 1%, respectively.
The US president has repeated threats to target Iran's power facilities and civilian infrastructure unless a deal is reached by 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday, or 5:30 a.m. IST on Wednesday, to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran stated that it seeks a lasting resolution to the conflict rather than a temporary truce.
Brent crude prices remained around $112 per barrel. High crude prices are putting pressure on India's import expenses and impacting economic growth and corporate profit margins.
