Indian stock markets are expected to open lower due to global geopolitical tensions, particularly US-Iran conflicts, and cautious investor sentiment. Crude oil prices rose slightly, while tech stocks in the US faced a selloff.

• Indian benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 likely to open lower amid US-Iran tensions and weak global cues.
• Crude oil prices rose 1% after US attacks on Iran, but remain near $90 per barrel.
• US tech stocks declined as tensions reduced investor risk appetite and raised concerns over inflation and interest rates.
