Indian Markets Volatile Amid US-Iran Tensions; Mixed Sector Performance Observed
Indian equity markets experienced volatility amid escalating US-Iran tensions, rising crude oil prices, and higher global bond yields, which raised inflation and monetary policy concerns. The Sensex and Nifty declined for three consecutive sessions but showed signs of recovery with positive openings supported by easing crude prices and strong foreign inflows. Sectoral performance was mixed, with gains in utilities, PSU banks, and select stocks like Welspun Corp and IFCI, while auto, IT, and media shares faced selling pressure. Technical analysts expect the Nifty to remain range-bound near key support levels, with cautious investor sentiment prevailing.
