Indian Markets Set for Flat Open as US-Iran Tensions Push Brent Crude Near $100

Indian stock markets are expected to open on a flat note amid rising geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran. Brent crude oil prices have climbed close to the $100 per barrel mark, reflecting persistent supply concerns in global energy markets. A reported deal involving Iran and Oman over the Strait of Hormuz has failed to ease fears over potential oil supply disruptions. The elevated crude prices are adding uncertainty to investor sentiment ahead of the market open. Traders are closely watching developments in the Middle East for further cues on market direction.
