US-Iran truce talks fail: Markets brace for volatility, ceasefire rally gains at risk
Indian Express·1h ago·Neutral
What Happened
US-Iran truce talks failed in Islamabad, threatening last week's relief rally. Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 are expected to open lower. Markets climbed 6% recently after a ceasefire reduced tensions. Crude oil prices may rise toward $110-$130 per barrel, increasing imported inflation pressure on India. The Reserve Bank of India likely maintains hawkish pause. Oil companies face margin pressure while upstream players may benefit from higher crude prices.
