View on market: Volatility persists, eagerly searching for growth:

Global markets remained under pressure as rising crude oil prices increased concerns over inflation and higher interest rates. Asian markets traded lower, with investors worried that expensive energy could force central banks to maintain or tighten their monetary policies. Higher oil prices also pushed global bond yields higher, adding to pressure on equities. US markets also opened and closed lower as renewed US-Iran tensions increased uncertainty. Investors remained cautious after recent comments from the Federal Reserve raised expectations of tighter monetary policy. Technology stocks faced stronger selling pressure, while the broader market also declined. European markets are expected to open weak, following the negative global cues. In India, the market ended largely flat as rising crude prices and geopolitical tensions weighed on sentiment. Banking stocks remained under pressure, while investors continued to monitor global developments and the outlook for interest rates.
