Indian rupee weakened sharply to 93.31 against the dollar as geopolitical tensions escalate. Failed US-Iran peace talks and threats to blockade the Strait of Hormuz triggered a market sell-off. Brent crude surged 7% to $102 per barrel, raising concerns about energy costs and inflation. Foreign portfolio investors pulled Rs 48,213 crore from Indian equities in just ten days of April, extending March's record outflow of Rs 1.17 lakh crore. Analysts warn that energy crisis risks and weakening rupee have dampened investor appetite for Indian markets. Global investors are rotating toward markets like South Korea and Taiwan with stronger earnings growth prospects. Market uncertainty remains elevated as geopolitical risks continue to dominate sentiment.
