The index opened at 75,444.22, hit a high of 75,576.20 and plunged to an intraday low of 75,070.44 amid sustained pressure from elevated crude oil prices due to Middle East geopolitical tensions, continued foreign institutional investor outflows, and global risk-off sentiment. Broader market indices saw sharper declines: BSE MidCap Select -2.31%, BSE 150 MidCap -2.08%, BSE 250 SmallCap -2.25%, BSE SmallCap Select -2.38%, and BSE 500 -1.60%. Aggregate turnover across tracked segments stood at approximately ₹3,233 crore, with largecaps contributing the largest share.
Over 100 stocks across BSE groups touched fresh 52-week lows today, with the selling concentrated in midcaps, smallcaps, microcaps, penny stocks, and oil-sensitive/discretionary sectors.

- Microcap and low-liquidity penny stocks recorded the steepest percentage declines, many dropping 10%+ to new yearly lows amid thin buying interest.
- Pressure extended to select larger names including TRENT (LTP 3558, low 3500), along with other consumption and discretionary-linked counters.
- Oil-sensitive, cyclical, and small/midcap segments faced the heaviest selling, while largecap defensives offered only limited support.
Markets remain under pressure with Sensex watching support near 75,000 levels amid crude volatility, ongoing FII outflows, and global uncertainties.
