BENGALURU: Indian shares are set to open lower on Monday, tracking Asian peers, as investor sentiment was subdued after Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel over the weekend spurred fears of a wider regional conflict.

India’s GIFT Nifty was trading at 22,470.50 as of 8:04 a.m. IST, indicating that the Nifty 50 will open below its Friday’s close of 22,519.40.

Asian markets opened lower on Monday, with the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index shedding 0.8%, as risk assets were under pressure after Iran on late Saturday launched explosive drones and missiles at Israel.

Fading US rate cut hopes erase weekly gains for Indian shares; March CPI data eyed
