Crude Oil Surge: Nifty 50 Could Plunge to 21,000, Warns Emkay Global

• Emkay Global warns Nifty 50 could fall to 21,000 if crude oil stays above $100/barrel, a 10% drop from current levels.
• Market decline not over; Nifty already down over 9% from its 52-week high.
• High crude prices due to Strait of Hormuz disruptions and Iran-America conflict could impact India's economy, inflation, and corporate earnings.
• Auto, airlines, and oil marketing companies face pressure; IT, pharma, and metal sectors may fare better but no sector is immune if oil remains expensive.
• Emkay Global sees current market decline as an investment opportunity for long-term returns once oil prices normalize to around $70.
