Sensex and Nifty Open Lower Amid Elevated Crude Prices and Geopolitical Tensions
Indian equity markets extended losses into the new week amid elevated crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions in West Asia, and uncertainty over the US Federal Reserve's policy outlook. The Sensex and Nifty opened lower, with sectoral indices broadly declining, particularly IT, Realty, and Midcap stocks. While crude oil prices eased slightly from recent highs above $115 per barrel, inflation concerns and global market weakness weighed on investor sentiment. Market participants are closely watching corporate earnings, central bank decisions, and geopolitical developments for direction.
