The headline index, S&P BSE Sensex lost 495 points or 1.26 per cent to settle at 38,645, with YES Bank being the biggest loser and Bharti Airtel the top gainer. Out of 31 components, 25 scrips ended in the red and rest five in the green.

A 3 per cent jump in oil prices amid weak global cues also dented sentiment. Asian shares slipped on Monday, weighed down by underperforming Chinese stocks, while oil prices rallied on news the United States is likely to ask all importers of Iranian oil to end their purchases or face sanctions.

The Shanghai Composite Index was down 1.3 percent, South Korea’s KOSPI edged down 0.2 percent and Japan’s Nikkei was little changed.

MARKET COMMENT :: Jagannadham Thunuguntla, senior vice president, head research (wealth), Centrum Broking
Indian markets had a rough day today, on the back of sharp rise in crude oil price above US$74 per barrel. As a significant importer of crude oil, the high oil price is not good for Indian macros. Further, after breath-taking rally of past two months, a correction was due in the Indian markets; and crude oil has triggered it. Further, ongoing results season has provided mixed performance till date. For the markets to sustain at elevated levels, it’s very important for Indian corporate earnings to remain robust
