How Escalating Tensions in the Middle East Could Impact Global Financial Markets

  • Last week, Indian stock markets faced a broad-based sell-off with Sensex falling 1,070.39 points and Nifty slipping 284.45 points amid rising Middle East tensions.
  • The sell-off followed escalating geopolitical risks, including threats from Iranian leadership to block the Strait of Hormuz, which handles roughly 20% of global oil supplies.
  • Iranian General Esmail Kosari stated that closing the Strait is actively considered, while global markets remain largely complacent despite the significant disruption this could cause.
  • Ajit Mishra said the market is expected to remain subdued due to weak global cues, and analysts note that the US Fed's June 17-18 policy meeting adds further uncertainty.
  • These developments suggest continued volatility for Indian and global markets, with investor sentiment influenced by geopolitical tensions, crude oil prices, and key upcoming economic data.
