Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open on a subdued note today, tracking weak global cues and GIFT Nifty, which was trading around the 24,977 mark earlier this morning.

A spike in crude oil prices and rising geopolitical tensions following the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have dampened investor sentiment, raising concerns over a potential escalation in the Middle East conflict.

In the previous session on June 20, bulls made a strong comeback on Dalal Street, ending a three-day losing streak.

Broad-based buying across sectors pushed the Nifty well above the 25,100 level, signaling resilience despite global headwinds.

On Friday, the 30-share benchmark index ended at 82408.17 up by 1046.3 points or by 1.29 % and then NSE Nifty was at 25112.4 up by 319.15 points or by 1.29 %.

On the global front, Asian markets were trading lower on Monday, after the United States’ attack on three nuclear sites in Iran raised oil prices and investors’ fears of an escalation in the Middle East conflict.

Nikkei was down 0.74 per cent, and the broader Topix index declined 0.64 per cent. The Kospi shed 1.22 per cent, and the ASX 200 slipped 0.76 per cent.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended lower on Friday, with investors on edge over the Iran-Israel conflict heading into the weekend, as the U.S. considers whether to get involved.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 35.16 points, or 0.08%, to 42,206.82, the S&P 500 lost 13.03 points, or 0.22%, to 5,967.84 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 98.86 points, or 0.51%, to 19,447.41
