๐ India / Asia Angle
A cautious Wall Street session with Nasdaq underperforming may drag IT-heavy Indian indices like Nifty IT lower at open, as Indian tech stocks are closely correlated with US tech sentiment. Stalled US-Iran talks could also lift crude oil prices, posing an inflationary risk for India as a major oil importer.
