US strikes on Iran may rattle markets: Will Nifty, Sensex react to escalating geopolitical risk?
Indian equities closed the week 1.6% higher, recovering from a three-day losing streak as markets bounced back sharply on Friday. However, the mood may turn cautious on Monday amid rising geopolitical tensions, following the U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that American forces carried out coordinated airstrikes on three nuclear sites in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—in an effort to dismantle Tehran's nuclear capabilities. 'All planes are now outside of Iran 's space. A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home,' Trump said in a social media post. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search ads Learn More Undo Impact on markets The escalation is expected to weigh heavily on risk sentiment globally. According to Kranthi Bathini, Director of Equity Strategy at WealthMills Securities, 'Markets have gradually become accustomed to geopolitical tensions. That's why, despite rising conflict, Indian markets ended the week on a positive note. However, investors are likely to remain cautious and range-bound near the 25,000 level on Nifty until there's more clarity on Iran's response.' Bathini added that Middle East developments and crude oil dynamics will be key drivers in the coming days. 'Any sharp spike in oil prices could negatively impact Indian equities in the short to medium term.' Oil impact Crude oil prices have already been on the rise amid tensions in West Asia. Brent crude has surged over 15% to $77 per barrel, while WTI crude has jumped 17% to $74.9 in the past eight trading sessions. The latest U.S. strikes could add fuel to the rally, particularly if Iran retaliates or moves to block the Strait of Hormuz—a vital choke point through which nearly 20% of global oil flows. Live Events A surge in oil prices may not only raise inflationary pressures but also reduce the likelihood of near-term rate cuts, which could further dampen market sentiment. Dollar & safe-haven assets While the dollar has weakened this year amid fears of declining U.S. exceptionalism, analysts suggest that direct American involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict could temporarily boost the greenback due to a flight to safety. However, if the conflict widens, the dollar's direction will depend on the broader risk sentiment and U.S. economic data. FIIs may turn cautious Foreign institutional investors (FIIs), who were net buyers in May with Rs 19,860 crore inflows, have turned cautious in June. As of June 20, they have sold shares worth Rs 4,192 crore, according to NSDL data. Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services , said, 'FPI flows are likely to remain volatile and sensitive to geopolitical risks, especially with the West Asia war escalating.' A strong dollar and movement in U.S. bond yields could also impact FII sentiment in the near term. Technical View "25k is indeed a daunting challenge. Previous attempts to clear the same had proved to be short-lived as there was hardly any follow through momentum, thus leading to a sharp withdrawal. Hence the re approach of the 25k mount is accompanied by concerns of sustainability. Being at the upper Bollinger band as well, it would require further momentum to continue the uptrend. ADX at 13.2 does not indicate strong momentum either. Nevertheless, upswing attempts may be seen initially, but may not clear the 25200-460 band. Alternatively, inability to float above 25045 could see dips, but will wait for 24865 to switch sides," said Anand James of Geojit. Also Read: $2.4 trillion worth of gold!

Google may soon change the way its shows search results in Europe
Google has reportedly put forward a new set of changes to its search results page, offering to better feature competing services in a bid to resolve a major European Union (EU) antitrust case and avoid a potentially hefty fine. Citing documents that Google sent to other companies, news agency Reuters reports that the proposal comes three months after the European Commission (EC) formally charged the tech giant with violating the landmark Digital Markets Act (DMA) by unfairly favouring its own services like Google Shopping , Hotels, and Flights over those of its rivals. What Google's offer suggests about the changes coming to Search engine Under the latest offer, Google suggests creating a dedicated box at the top of the search results page for a rival vertical search service (VSS), selected through 'objective and non-discriminatory criteria.' This box would reportedly have the same format and features as Google's own offerings and would include three direct links chosen by the rival company. Other specialised search services would be ranked below this box. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'We do not agree with the (Commission's) preliminary findings' position but, on a without prejudice basis, we want to find a workable solution to resolve the present proceedings,' Google said in the documents sent to rival companies, while maintaining its position. The proposal is set to be discussed at a meeting scheduled for July 8 where rivals will provide feedback to the Commission. However, several competitors, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Reuters they believe the proposed changes are still insufficient to ensure a level playing field. The DMA is a sweeping set of rules and regulations designed to limit the power of Big Tech and foster greater competition and consumer choice in the digital marketplace.
