Indian oil stocks

Indian equity markets came under pressure, with PB Fintech, the parent of Policybazaar, falling sharply after what commentators describe as a major regulatory shock from the insurance regulator IRDAI. Market analysts are also pointing to rising crude oil prices, climbing bond yields and tensions involving Iran as factors weighing on sentiment. Finance commentators on social media are debating whether the regulatory hit to PB Fintech signals broader trouble for insurtech stocks or a temporary dip.
