Global Markets React to Rising Oil Prices and Geopolitical Tensions
Stock markets showed mixed trends amid rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions. India's GIFT Nifty indicated a gap-down start, with futures down over 100 points, while Asian markets like Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi advanced. In contrast, US indexes closed lower, with the Nasdaq falling over 2%, influenced by concerns over AI spending and inflation linked to higher oil prices. Oil prices rose following a tanker attack near Saudi Arabia and escalating US-Iran tensions, contributing to market volatility.
