Indian shares are expected to open flat to slightly higher on Friday, following mixed cues from Asian markets. Geopolitical tensions rise as Israeli Prime Minister orders intensified strikes on Iran and U.S. President to decide on potential strikes within two weeks. Benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty closed marginally lower on Thursday, with the rupee hitting a three-month low against the dollar. Asian markets are mixed, with China keeping lending rates unchanged and Japan’s core inflation at its highest since January 2023. Dollar set for biggest weekly rise in over a month, while Brent crude futures fell after a 3 percent increase. Gold dips below $3360 per ounce. U.S. markets closed on Thursday for National Independence Day. European stocks fall for a third straight session, reacting to Bank of England’s policy decision and seeking clarity on U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran conflict. STOXX 600 declines 0.8 percent, DAX loses 1.1 percent, CAC 40 tumbles 1.3 percent, and FTSE 100 sheds 0.6 percent.
