      Global markets kick off the week on a cautious note as uncertainty around the Middle East intensifies. US markets ended mixed, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipping 0.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite edged higher and the S&P 500 closed largely flat. However, US futures are sharply lower, indicating weak sentiment ahead. Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated after nuclear talks failed, with Washington pushing for commitments while Tehran demands ceasefire terms, reparations, and control over the Strait of Hormuz. The situation has further intensified with signals of a possible naval blockade and continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Markets are reacting strongly—oil prices have surged 7–8%, crossing $100 per barrel again, while safe-haven demand shows mixed trends as gold slips and silver declines sharply. Meanwhile, US bond yields have climbed, with the 10-year yield nearing 4.35%, adding to global risk-off sentiment. Asian markets are trading lower in response, and early indicators suggest pressure on Indian equities as well. Despite Friday’s strong close—where the Nifty hit a one-month high of 24,051 and volatility cooled with a sharp drop in India VIX—GIFT Nifty is pointing toward a gap-down start for the week.
