Indian stock markets declined in early trade as repeated setbacks in US-Iran talks, weak global cues, and foreign investor selling weighed on sentiment.
Indian stock markets opened lower as investor sentiment weakened following repeated setbacks in US-Iran talks and renewed geopolitical uncertainty. The Sensex fell over 400 points, while the Nifty slipped below 23,250, pressured by cautious global cues, foreign institutional investor selling, and concerns over volatile crude oil prices. Market analysts said rising tension in West Asia has made investors nervous because higher oil prices can increase inflation pressure and hurt India’s import bill. Financial and broader market stocks faced selling pressure, while traders remained cautious ahead of further diplomatic developments and upcoming domestic policy cues. Experts believe the market may stay volatile until there is clearer progress in US-Iran negotiations and stability returns to global energy markets.
