Market Decline: Indian shares opened lower, with the Nifty 50 index down 0.97% and the S&P BSE Sensex shedding about 1%, as most sectors faced losses amid rising tensions in the Middle East following Iran's missile attacks on Israel.
Sector Impact: Realty and auto stocks led the declines, while consumer goods firm Dabur experienced a 6% drop after forecasting its first revenue decline since 2020; brokerage stocks also fell due to tightened regulations on equity derivatives trading.
