Overnight weakness on Wall Street and continued foreign investor selling may also keep the Indian market under pressure.

🌏 Asian Markets:

Asian markets are trading mixed to lower in early trade. Kospi is up nearly 3%, while Topix is marginally lower.

🛢️ Crude Oil:

Global crude oil prices edged higher as uncertainty over the US-Iran peace prospects increased following Donald Trump’s bombing threat to Oman.

Brent Crude: Up 0.25% at around $91.10/barrel.

📌 Overall View:

Global market sentiment remains cautious. Geopolitical uncertainty, higher crude oil prices, weak global equities and continued FII selling could keep Indian markets under pressure in today’s session.
