Crude Oil Price Surge Weighs on Aviation, Oil Marketing, and Tyre Stocks

Shares of crude-sensitive sectors, including aviation, oil marketing companies, and tyre manufacturers, declined following a sharp rise in global crude oil prices amid escalating US-Iran tensions. Brent crude briefly surpassed $126 per barrel, the highest since March 2022, raising concerns over increased fuel costs and margin pressures. Stocks like IndiGo, SpiceJet, CEAT, and Bharat Petroleum experienced notable losses, while paint companies showed mixed reactions due to their reliance on crude-linked inputs.
