Meanwhile, Asian markets traded lower on Tuesday, while US stock futures ended on a mixed note ahead of key inflation data.
“Indian equities are likely to remain volatile and cautious as elevated crude oil prices, mounting inflation concerns and escalating geopolitical tensions weigh on investor sentiment. WTI crude is trading in the $92–93 a barrel range, while Brent has climbed back above $105, keeping energy costs and their broader macroeconomic implications firmly in focus,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
The Sensex tumbled nearly 548 points on Monday as a fresh surge in crude oil prices, continued foreign fund outflows and rising bond yields weighed on investor sentiment.
