Indian equity markets are likely to open cautiously on Thursday despite a global rally. The GIFT Nifty was trading at 24,206, down 179 points or 0.73%, indicating potential pressure on benchmark indices. Geopolitical tensions in West Asia and elevated oil prices above $100 per barrel are weighing on investor sentiment. Global markets have been buoyed by strong corporate earnings, with Wall Street indices hitting record highs. However, Indian markets remain sensitive to external shocks such as oil price movements and currency fluctuations. Oil prices are supported by tightening shipping conditions in the Gulf region and concerns over supply disruptions.
