Indian Stock Markets Open Lower Amid US-Iran Tensions and Fed Rate Hold

Indian stock markets, including the Nifty 50 and Sensex, are expected to open lower following global market weakness triggered by escalating US-Iran tensions and a US Federal Reserve decision to hold interest rates steady at 3.50-3.75%. The Gift Nifty index showed a gap-down opening, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid rising crude oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty. Analysts highlight key support and resistance levels for the indices, with select stocks like Urban Company, Cipla, and KFin Technologies recommended for buying. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's term is ending soon, adding to market focus.
