On Tuesday, the Indian stock market is projected to start lower, reflecting a broader trend of weakness in global markets influenced by escalating tensions in the US-Iran conflict. The Gift Nifty was trading at approximately 24,075, indicating a decline of 131 points from the previous close of the Nifty futures. The ongoing conflict has pushed the fragile ceasefire to the brink of collapse, affecting market sentiment significantly. In the global arena, Asian markets also traded lower, and the US stock market saw a decline, with the S&P 500 retreating from its record highs. Additionally, crude oil prices have eased after a 6% increase in the previous session, with Brent oil futures dropping to $113.35 per barrel. Meanwhile, gold prices remained stable, with spot gold rising to $4,528.99 per ounce, as inflation and potential rate hikes loom due to the geopolitical situation.
