Us Iran War Impact On Stock Market: Rs 11 lakh crore wiped out! How US-Israel-Iran war is hitting stock market investors hard Indian stock markets have suffered a significant decline amid escalating tensions between Iran and the US-Israel alliance, with over Rs 11 lakh crore in value erased from the benchmark indices. The Sensex and Nifty 50 indices fell more than 2.5% over two consecutive trading days, with the Sensex dropping below the 81,000 level for the first time in over a month. The Nifty 50 also slid sharply, losing over 300 points and falling below the critical 25,000 support level. The market turmoil followed Iran’s response to Israeli and US strikes that killed its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sparking renewed geopolitical uncertainty. Market experts warn of continued volatility as tensions between Iran and the Israel-US alliance intensify without diplomatic resolution. Analysts note that the steep rise in the India VIX, which climbed over 25% to 17.13, reflects heightened investor anxiety and risk aversion. Gold futures surged on the MCX exchange as demand for safe-haven assets increased, while elevated crude oil prices pose a fiscal challenge. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to retain flexibility in managing monetary policy, and domestic consumption remains resilient despite the turmoil. The impact of the conflict extends beyond equity markets, with concerns about oil price spikes and disruptions to export-dependent sectors. Tanvi Kanchan of Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers emphasized that while short-term volatility is likely, India’s long-term economic fundamentals remain strong. Net GST collections in January 2026 reached Rs 1.71 lakh crore, and earnings recovery is anticipated in FY27.#reserve_bank_of_india #us_israel_iran_war #tanvi_kanchan #naval_kagalwala #ajit_mishra
