Shares of PSU Oil Marketers and Airlines Decline as Brent Crude Prices Rise Above $107
Shares of state-run oil marketing companies and airlines declined as Brent crude oil prices surged above $107 per barrel amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Hindustan Petroleum, Bharat Petroleum, and Indian Oil Corporation saw share drops between 0.5% and 3.1%, while airline stocks like SpiceJet and IndiGo also fell. Rising crude prices raise concerns over increased costs and margin pressures for oil retailers and aviation sectors, with paint and tyre stocks also affected due to their reliance on petroleum derivatives.
