The Indian stock market is expected to open on a negative note on Monday, June 23, 2025, with GIFT Nifty trading lower as escalating geopolitical tensions rattle investor sentiment. The situation intensified after the US allegedly carried out airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facility, heightening concerns of a wider conflict involving Israel. Oil prices are expected to spike, potentially impacting inflation and the Indian economy at large.
