Markets Monitor US Inflation, Crude Oil Prices, and US-Iran Tensions This Week
Global markets are closely watching US inflation data, crude oil prices, and escalating US-Iran tensions this week. Indian equities opened lower amid rising Brent crude nearing $97, driven by recent US strikes on Iranian oil tankers and Iran's response. Elevated energy costs raise concerns about inflation, corporate margins, and India's import bill. Investors also anticipate US Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index reports, which could influence Federal Reserve interest rate decisions and global monetary policy expectations.
