Global Market Uncertainty Weighs on Indian Equities

Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 are poised for a sharply lower start on Monday, 8 June, as escalating Middle East tensions and diminishing hopes of a near-term breakthrough in the broader US-Iran conflict continue to weigh on global markets.

The global sentiment remained under pressure, with Asian markets declining across the board in early trade, while Wall Street ended sharply lower on Friday. The Nasdaq posted its steepest single-day fall since April 2025, as investors moved away from risk assets amid growing geopolitical uncertainty and concerns that interest rates could remain elevated for longer.

Back home, Indian markets ended Friday's volatile session in the red. The BSE Sensex slipped 116.67 points, or 0.16%, to close at 74,243.34, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 49.85 points, or 0.21%, to settle at 23,366.70.
