Indian Markets Mixed Ahead of Open Amid Global Yields, RBI Rate Hike, and Crude Price Concerns
Indian equity markets showed mixed signals ahead of Thursday's open, with the GIFT Nifty indicating a slight positive bias while other indicators suggested a negative start. Global equities declined due to rising US Treasury yields and geopolitical tensions, including attacks in West Asia affecting crude oil prices. The Reserve Bank of India's recent repo rate hike to 5.50% has added caution to domestic markets, with experts noting potential impacts on inflation and rate-sensitive sectors amid fragile global conditions.
