A recent article featuring insights from Shravan Shetty, Managing Director, Primus Partners, mentions that renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are creating negative sentiment in equity markets by increasing concerns over crude oil prices and global economic uncertainty. The article highlights that these developments are placing downward pressure on Indian benchmark indices while reducing overall market participation.

The article further notes that lower trading volumes, influenced by the June 30 triple expiry, have amplified cautious investor behaviour. According to the analysis, market direction will remain closely tied to geopolitical developments and broader news flow, with sustained uncertainty likely to keep equity markets volatile in the near term.
