Indian benchmark indices wrapped up Thursday’s session on a subdued note. The Nifty slipped below the psychological 25,000 mark, a sign of profit booking at higher levels and a lack of fresh buying support.
This weakness was further intensified by the weekly F&O expiry, leading to sharp intraday volatility. Traders squared off positions aggressively, mirroring caution in the face of escalating global headwinds.

The key trigger for the sell-off was rising geopolitical tension in the Middle East. Reports suggest that Israel is preparing strategic strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, escalating fears of a broader regional conflict. In retaliation, Iran has issued missile threat warnings, intensifying global unease.
These developments have raised fresh concerns over the stability of global crude oil supply chains, adding to the risk-off mood across financial markets worldwide.
