AI Market Summary
Escalating West Asia tensions and disruption risks to energy corridors pushed Brent crude to ~108.27, pressuring oil-importing economies and weighing on Indian equities at the open (Nifty -0.88%, Sensex -0.79%). Higher energy costs raise inflation and earnings risk, while rising U.S. 10-year yields near 5% add a global risk-off headwind across Asia.
