Crude oil price decline
In the commodities market, crude oil prices dipped despite supply disruptions in Libya. November Brent oil futures were down by 0.32% at $77.27, and Crude oil futures fell by 0.16% to $73.92.
September crude oil futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) traded marginally lower at ₹6,221, while October futures were slightly down at ₹6,155. The ongoing supply issues in Libya, which have reduced production to nearly half of its usual level, did not provide enough support to offset the bearish sentiment in the market.
Conclusion
The Indian stock market had a mixed day with the major indices ending flat amid weak global cues. However, certain stocks like Vdeal System, GACM Technologies, and Hindustan Aeronautics saw significant movements, reflecting specific catalysts that drove their performance.
Meanwhile, the dip in crude oil prices highlighted the ongoing concerns in the global commodities market. As the market looks ahead, investors will likely keep a close watch on global cues and domestic developments to gauge the next move.
