Sensex and Nifty Open Lower Amid US-Iran Tensions and Rising Oil Prices
Indian stock markets opened lower amid rising crude oil prices and escalating US-Iran tensions, which raised concerns about inflation and supply disruptions. The Sensex dropped around 170 points and the Nifty declined near 63 points in early trade. Investors also remained cautious due to a busy IPO calendar absorbing liquidity and fears of a potential US interest rate hike following a strong jobs report. Asian markets mostly rose, while US indexes closed lower ahead of a holiday weekend.
