Indian Markets Expected to Open Lower Amid Rising Oil Prices and US-Iran Tensions
Indian equity markets are expected to open lower amid rising oil prices and renewed US-Iran military tensions, which have heightened concerns over global inflation and energy supplies. Asian markets, including Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi, also declined following hawkish remarks from US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh, raising expectations of an interest rate hike. Oil prices surged after US strikes on Iranian targets, contributing to a cautious risk sentiment globally. Indian benchmarks posted weekly losses amid these geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
