Trump has recently backed legislation to impose tariffs of up to 500% on Russian crude, with expectations of new sanctions and coordinated EU measures intensifying concerns over tighter global supply.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"684\" data-end=\"939\">This jump in oil prices has triggered a sell-off in India\u2019s crude-sensitive sectors, including paint stocks, tyre manufacturers, and oil marketing companies (OMCs), as rising input costs threaten profit margins and broader inflationary trends.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"684\" data-end=\"939\">Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niftytrader.in\/content\/hindustan-zinc-rises-2-as-silver-hits-rs-1-15-lakh-kg\/\">Hindustan Zinc Rises 2% as Silver Hits Rs.1.15 Lakh\/Kg; Traders Track Tariff-Driven Breakout<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"981\">Market Reaction and Technical Outlook<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1314\">Asian Paints dropped 1.41% to \u20b92,404.80, with Berger Paints and Kansai Nerolac falling 2.72% and 0.10%, respectively.
