US Stocks Today | US stocks open lower after Trump's comments dent Iran resolution hopes

Increased geopolitical instability often leads to a flight to safety, impacting global commodity prices and potentially increasing crude oil prices, which is a negative for India.

Monitor crude oil prices closely; a sustained rise could negatively impact Indian oil marketing companies and import-dependent sectors.
