Mumbai: As the international prices of crude oil started rising again and the demon of inflation raised its head again in the whole world including America, the U.S. Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza and the possibility of the Federal Reserve delaying interest rate cuts following Iran's missile attack on Israel amid geopolitical tensions over the weekend and warnings of a new front with Iran. The sentiment in global markets has been shaken. India will not be in the grip of crude oil fire, now due to Lok Sabha elections the government cannot increase the prices of petrol and diesel, hence inflation will be controlled artificially. But if crude oil prices continue to rise after the elections and cross $100, then an increase in fuel prices will become inevitable. Hence, the crude factor will be important for the economy and markets, the next four days trading week could see Nifty spot in a wider range between 22855 and 22177 and Sensex between 75377 and 73133. Turbulence in global markets and geopolitical tensions.
