Crude Oil Prices Near 2022 Lows | Sula Vineyard IPO | Top Buzzing Stocks Today

On Wednesday, Indian share markets traded on a relatively volatile note after the RBI raised repo rate by 35 basis points.

Benchmark indices dived and ended the day 0.3% lower as RBI gave a moderately hawkish policy.

The RBI increased the repo rate on expected lines by 35 bps to 6.25% with immediate effect.

The central bank also lowered gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for FY23 to 6.8% as it remained cautious of a sticky core inflation amid global turmoil. This, combined with weak global sentiment, led to selling.

At the closing bell on Wednesday, the BSE Sensex stood lower by 216 points (down 0.3%).

Meanwhile, the NSE Nifty closed lower by 83 points (down 0.4%).

Asian Paints, HUL, and BPCL were among the top gainers.

Oil falls to January 2022 lows

On Wednesday, oil prices slipped amid concerns about weak economic indicators from China and Europe along with the anticipation of a hike in interest rates by central banks globally.

The recession and easing fears that a Western cap on Russian oil prices would significantly curb supply also added to the market sentiment.

Brent crude futures were down 1.3%, at US$78.3 a barrel, the lowest since 3 January 2022.

West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 0.01% to US$ 74.2 a barrel.

With the dollar gaining strength, oil prices rolled down, with market participants booking profits on the recent gains.

Also, the output from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) further added to the fall.

All these factors have created a supply-side risk, pulling the prices down.

Oil prices have dropped by more than 1% for three straight sessions, giving up most of their gains for the year.
