The auto sector had shown positive momentum earlier, with the S&P BSE AUTO Index up 24.1% over the past year and 0.3% in the last 30 days prior to this session. Recent factors influencing the broader market included geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which contributed to rising crude oil prices and risk aversion in equities. Elevated oil prices can increase input costs and potentially affect consumer demand for vehicles due to higher fuel expenses.
