Sensex Set for Red Opening as Global Oil Tensions Keep Investors on Edge

Indian markets are bracing for a <b>gloomy start</b> today as negative global cues dominate investor sentiment. With <b>Brent crude</b> hovering around the <b>$115 per barrel</b> mark, the market is feeling the heat of geopolitical instability. Corporate greed and global power plays continue to hold the common investor hostage. While oil prices surge on fears of renewed US strikes on Iran, it is the retail portfolio that inevitably bleeds, proving once again that global conflicts are the ultimate market disruptors. Expect a volatile trading session as traders react to these persistent inflationary pressures.
