Indian stock market after Operation Sindoor

The Indian stock market witnessed sharp declines on Friday amid mounting geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor. The BSE Sensex plunged over 800 points, while the Nifty 50 slipped below the 24,100-mark, raising concerns about the short-term market outlook.

As of 10:14 AM, the Nifty was trading at 24,035.25, down by 239 points (0.98%), and the Sensex stood at 79,588.71, reflecting a fall of 746 points (0.93%). The sharp selloff came after Indian armed forces launched coordinated strikes on Pakistani air defense installations across multiple regions, escalating India-Pakistan tensions further.

Geopolitical Shockwaves Rock Indian Markets

Since the onset of Operation Sindoor, investor sentiment has been on edge. On Thursday, Sensex had already shed 412 points, and Nifty lost over 140 points. This two-day dip wiped out more than ₹5 lakh crore in market capitalization, signaling growing concern among retail and institutional investors alike.

According to Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research at Religare Broking, “Ongoing uncertainty continues to make traders cautious, potentially clouding the prevailing trend. Until the volatility subsides, it’s advisable to adopt hedged positions.”

Market analysts highlighted that although the Indian stock market had remained relatively resilient following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, the full-scale military escalation under Operation Sindoor has changed market dynamics in the short term.

Expert View: Stay Calm, Markets Remain Fundamentally Strong

Despite the volatility, Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, advised investors against panic-selling. “The conflict has so far shown India’s conventional superiority. Moreover, strong domestic macros, a weak dollar, and easing interest rates continue to support Indian equities in the long run.”

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have shown faith in the Indian stock market, purchasing shares worth ₹2,008 crore on Thursday, even as Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) booked profits worth ₹596 crore.

Global Markets Send Mixed Signals Amid Unrest

Global market cues remained mixed. Asian indices showed cautious optimism, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 up 1.17%, while South Korea’s Kospi and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng remained flat to negative. The Indian stock market, however, reflected heightened volatility due to geopolitical concerns, contrasting global sentiment. The US stock market ended higher on Thursday, boosted by a surprise US-UK trade deal.

The Dow Jones surged 254 points, while the Nasdaq Composite rose over 1%, driven by gains in Delta Airlines and Boeing shares. The trade deal modestly eased tariffs and provided relief to global investors.

In contrast, the Pakistan stock market crashed, reflecting international investors’ concern over its economic and military vulnerabilities amidst escalating India-Pakistan tensions.

Rupee Weakens Sharply, Gold Gains as Safe Haven

The Indian rupee recorded its steepest one-day fall in over two years, plunging 81 paise to close at ₹85.58 against the US dollar. Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, remarked, “Further escalation may pressure the rupee, but strong FII inflows could provide near-term support.”

Meanwhile, gold prices surged, with spot gold rising to $3,309.39 an ounce, as investors sought refuge in safe-haven assets. Gold futures firmed 0.3% after a 2% decline in the previous session.

What Lies Ahead for Indian Equities?

With volatility spiking, the India VIX remains elevated, reflecting heightened investor anxiety. Market participants are closely watching both domestic geopolitical events and key international data, including US jobless claims and China’s April trade figures.

The Gift Nifty was trading nearly 295 points below the Nifty futures’ previous close, signaling a possible continuation of bearish sentiment in the upcoming sessions.

Amidst the market downturn, seasoned investors and financial advisors suggest staying invested, keeping a long-term perspective, and focusing on quality stock selection to ride out the storm.

Conclusion

While Operation Sindoor has triggered short-term volatility in the Indian stock market, market fundamentals, strong economic growth forecasts, and global support remain intact. Investors are advised to monitor developments carefully and avoid knee-jerk reactions during this geopolitical crisis.
