Sensex and Nifty 50 set for flat open on Sept. 16 as crude oil holds $104–105
Escalating Middle East disruptions, including attacks on Saudi infrastructure and Strait of Hormuz risks, lifted WTI into the $104–105 range, worsening inflation concerns and pushing US 10-year yields toward multi-decade highs. This tightens global financial conditions and pressures risk assets, particularly for oil-importing markets like India via weaker macro expectations and currency/inflation spillovers. An API-reported inventory build is a near-term offset but does not remove supply-risk premium.
