Share markets in India have erased all the early gains and are presently deep in the red.

Benchmark indices opened higher tracking the trend on SGX Nifty and following support from positive global markets.

However, benchmark indices saw a sharp fall and the weakness spilled across broader markets as well.

The reasons behind this fall could be rising crude oil prices and the US-China tensions.

Crude oil prices rose today, bouncing off multi-month lows in the previous session caused by data signalling weak US fuel demand.

Meanwhile, starting today, China has said that it will carry out five days of "necessary and just" military drills in the seas around Taiwan following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to the island.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry also summoned the US ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, on Wednesday to protest Pelosi's visit as a "serious provocation and violation" of the one-China principle.

In opening trade today, the BSE Sensex rallied as much as 350 points while the broader NSE Nifty topped 17,490-mark.

Presently, the BSE Sensex is trading down by 555 points. Meanwhile, the NSE Nifty is trading down by 162 points at 17,220 levels.

Broader indices also came under pressure as the BSE midcap and smallcap index fell 1%.

Majority of sectoral indices were trading in green in the morning, but the case is exact opposite now.

Barring metal and IT, all sectoral indices are trading in red with stocks in the banking sector and realty sector witnessing maximum selling pressure.

Among individual stocks, Adani Total Gas share price is in focus as it hit 52-week high of Rs 3,335 ahead of its Q1 results.

Meanwhile, another Adani group company Adani Power hit its 52-week high after it reported a 16-fold jump in consolidated net profit.
