Indian Markets Decline Amid Elevated Oil Prices and Geopolitical Tensions; Flat Start Expected
Indian equity markets experienced a decline last week, with the Sensex and Nifty snapping a two-week winning streak amid broad-based selling. Elevated crude oil prices above $115 per barrel, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and uncertainty over the US Federal Reserve's policy outlook weighed on investor sentiment. Asian and US markets also traded lower. The GIFT Nifty indicated a largely flat or muted start for domestic benchmarks on Monday, with investors closely watching crude oil movements, geopolitical developments, and upcoming corporate earnings.
