  • Sensex and Nifty Slip as Middle East Tensions Boost Oil Prices
    March 19, 2026, 2:16 AM EDT. Sensex and Nifty indices opened lower amid a sharp rise in oil prices caused by escalating Middle East tensions. Iran's missile strike on Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG facility and subsequent US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran's energy sites heightened concerns about inflation and India's import costs. Technical analysis shows Nifty support at 23,250-23,150, with resistance near 23,900. The market, nearing oversold conditions, would need strong buying to bounce back. Earlier weekly gains of nearly 3% were wiped out. Asian markets, including Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea, also retreated up to 3%, signaling a global risk-off sentiment. This volatility underscores geopolitical risks affecting investor confidence worldwide.
