Ashok Leyland -2.55%, TMPV -2.24%, M&amp;M -1.99%, Exide -2.06%. Brent crude $97.04. US-Iran war sustains oil risk.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nifty Auto fell 1.23% to 25,845.35 on June 8, 2026, making it one of the worst-performing sectoral indices of the session as a combination of Brent crude spiking to $97 per barrel, elevated input cost pressures and macro demand uncertainty pushed the auto sector sharply lower. Ashok Leyland led losses, falling 2.55% to Rs 141.58, followed by Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) at -2.24% to Rs 388.90 and Exide Industries at -2.06% to Rs 391.30. Broader vehicle manufacturers including M&amp;M (-1.99%), Sonacoms (-1.80%), Unominda (-1.83%) and Motherson (-1.51%) also fell sharply.<\/p>\n<p>The Nifty Auto selloff on June 8 comes after a period of elevated profitability for the sector, and the convergence of rising fuel prices, higher raw material costs from metals and rubber, and fears of a Federal Reserve rate hike dampening consumer spending creates a challenging near-term environment for auto stocks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a

For the auto sector, this creates a multi-layered cost problem. Vehicle manufacturers face higher commodity costs: crude oil is a key feedstock for rubber (tyres), plastics (interior and exterior components), lubricants, and petrochemical-based paints. Auto ancillaries with high crude-linked material exposure, such as Motherson Sumi and UNO Minda, are particularly vulnerable. At the same time, higher retail fuel prices reduce consumer disposable income available for vehicle purchases, especially in the price-sensitive two-wheeler and entry-level car segments.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Federal_Reserve_Rate_Hike_Fears_Dampen_Consumer_Financing_Outlook\"><\/span><strong>Federal Reserve Rate Hike Fears Dampen Consumer Financing Outlook<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The strong US May nonfarm payroll report released on June 5, 2026, showed 172,000 jobs added against a forecast of 85,000. This has significantly raised expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, which typically leads to tighter global monetary conditions. In India, the transmission effect on vehicle loan rates is a meaningful concern for the Nifty Auto outlook: an increase in auto loan EMIs directly reduces affordability and demand, particularly for commercial vehicles and premium passenger cars where financing penetration is high. Ashok Leyland&#8217;s 2.55% fall reflects specific concern about commercial vehicle demand softening if credit costs rise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Commercial_Vehicles_Under_Freight_Demand_Pressure\"><\/span><strong>Commercial Vehicles Under Freight Demand Pressure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The commercial vehicle segment, led by Ashok Leyland and the TMPV segment of Tata Motors, is bearing the brunt of the Nifty Auto fall today. Higher diesel prices from the crude oil spike increase fleet operator costs, reducing the freight rate economics that drive CV purchasing decisions. Fleet operators who were cycling into replacement demand may defer purchases until fuel costs stabilise, compressing near-term CV volumes. This is a direct and well-understood transmission mechanism that investors are pricing into CV-heavy stocks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EV_Transition_Uncertainty_Adding_Sector-Level_Anxiety\"><\/span><strong>EV Transition Uncertainty Adding Sector-Level Anxiety<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>EV-focused auto ancillaries like Sona BLW Precisions (-1.80%) and UNO Minda (-1.83%) are also falling, partly because rising crude oil complicates the EV transition narrative. When oil prices are elevated, near-term ICE vehicle demand may hold up, but the raw material cost profile for EV batteries and power electronics also worsens as commodity prices spike. This creates uncertainty about EV economics that weighs on Nifty Auto sector valuations broadly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Screen Nifty Auto Stocks Live on the Univest Screener<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nifty_Auto_Technical_and_Sector_Outlook\"><\/span><strong>Nifty Auto Technical and Sector Outlook<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><em>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&amp;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a> to track Nifty Auto stocks live and get auto sector alerts from Univest.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The the index at 25,845.35 is down 1.23% intraday. The sector&#8217;s short-term outlook depends heavily on two macro variables: the direction of crude oil prices and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s policy communication this week, particularly around the May CPI data. A retreat in Brent below $90 would ease input cost fears and support a recovery across the the index. For commercial vehicle names like Ashok Leyland, the government&#8217;s infrastructure capex continuation is a structural positive that could absorb near-term CV demand softness.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nifty Auto is down 1.23% on June 8, 2026, with Ashok Leyland, TMPV, M&amp;M and Exide Industries leading the sector lower as Brent crude crosses $97 and Federal Reserve rate hike fears dampen consumer financing sentiment.

Ashok Leyland leads losses at -2.55%, followed by TMPV at -2.24% and M&amp;M at -1.99%.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_auto_stocks_are_falling_the_most_today\"><\/span><strong>Which auto stocks are falling the most today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The biggest the index losers on June 8, 2026 are Ashok Leyland (-2.55% to Rs 141.58), Tata Motors PV (-2.24% to Rs 388.90), Exide Industries (-2.06% to Rs 391.30), Mahindra and Mahindra (-1.99% to Rs 2,980.10), UNO Minda (-1.83% to Rs 1,070) and Sona BLW Precisions (-1.80% to Rs 591.45).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_crude_oil_affect_auto_stocks_in_India\"><\/span><strong>How does crude oil affect auto stocks in India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Crude oil affects auto stocks in multiple ways: it raises input costs for rubber (tyres), plastics (components), lubricants and petrochemical-based raw materials; it increases retail fuel prices which reduce consumer disposable income for vehicle purchases; and it raises fleet operator fuel costs for commercial vehicles, which delays replacement buying. Higher crude is consistently negative for the the index.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_index_level_today\"><\/span><strong>What is the index level today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Nifty Auto is trading at 25,845.35 on June 8, 2026, down 1.23% from its previous close.

Federal Reserve rate hike expectations also tighten auto financing conditions, adding further pressure on CV demand outlook.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_M_M_share_price_falling_today\"><\/span><strong>Why is M&amp;M share price falling today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Mahindra and Mahindra (M&amp;M) share price is falling 1.99% to Rs 2,980.10 on June 8, 2026, as part of the broad Nifty Auto selloff driven by crude oil spike, input cost concerns and macro demand uncertainty. M&amp;M has exposure to both passenger vehicles and tractors, and rising fuel and borrowing costs create dual headwinds for both segments.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Nifty_Auto_sector_recover_from_this_decline\"><\/span><strong>Will Nifty Auto sector recover from this decline?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> A Nifty Auto sector recovery depends on crude oil retreating from current $97 levels, Federal Reserve policy signals on interest rates (May CPI data due this week), and government infrastructure capex for commercial vehicle demand.
