US stocks to Asian markets today: Global market's equity heatmap you should know before trade begins on Dalal Street
Asian markets are set for a weak opening as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising crude oil prices weigh on investor sentiment. WTI crude has surged into the $92–93 per barrel range, while Brent has surpassed $100 per barrel, raising inflation concerns and pushing U.S. Treasury yields higher. Early indicators suggest a gap-down opening for Indian equities, with the Nifty expected to trade near 23,700, down from its previous close of 23,869.60.
