Indian equities are at a very crucial juncture. Domestic equities remained under pressure on Monday during the weekly expiry session and ahead of the holiday on Tuesday, with the Nifty slipping below the 24,000 mark amid weak global cues and a sharp rise in crude prices.
After the first round of US–Iran discussions failed, both sides left the door open for further talks. Officials from both the United States and Iran have signalled conditional willingness to return to negotiations.
However, no official date or venue has been finalised as of now.
With markets being closed on Tuesday due to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti, there will be a crucial movement when the market opens.
