Indian Markets Open Lower as US-Iran Tensions and Oil Prices Rise
Indian equity markets opened lower amid renewed US-Iran military tensions that pushed crude oil prices above $90 per barrel, raising concerns over global inflation and energy supplies. Asian markets also declined following hawkish remarks from US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh, which increased expectations of a rate hike. Investors remained cautious due to geopolitical risks, rising oil prices, and uncertainty over interest rates, impacting sectors like metals and IT. The MSCI index rebalancing and foreign fund flows added to market volatility.
