Markets Brace for Weak Start Amid Geopolitical Fears
13 May
Summary
- Indian stock markets may open lower due to global tensions.
- Crude oil prices remain above $100 per barrel.
- Q4FY26 earnings season concludes, impacting stock movements.
Indian stock market benchmarks, Nifty50 and BSE Sensex, are anticipated to begin Tuesday's trading session on a weak note, influenced by current global geopolitical tensions. Analysts suggest a cautious approach in the near term as the Q4FY26 earnings season draws to a close, with stock and sector-specific performance likely to be the primary drivers.
Crude oil prices continue to trade above the significant $100 per barrel mark, largely due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Early Tuesday trading saw a rise in crude oil prices as talks between Washington and Tehran appeared strained. Iran's response to a US proposal highlighted considerable differences, keeping alive concerns about potential disruptions to oil supplies on the international market.
