The Indian markets closed slightly lower today, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex both down by 0.13%. This movement was largely influenced by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, specifically the US military strikes on Iran, which have spurred a rally in global oil prices. This has raised concerns about potential inflationary pressures and rupee depreciation due to increased import costs. Additionally, the announcement of India's largest asset manager planning a significant IPO provided some support to the financial sector, despite the overall cautious sentiment.
