Brent risk — confirm with market participation
Brent crude firmed to about $91, Asian markets traded mostly lower, Wall Street closed lower; GIFT Nifty points to a flat open.
Rates / Fed path is today's first filter because treasury yields gained Monday as traders looked out for more U.S. factory data, while monitoring developments in the Middle East. Track NIFTY 22,705 first; holding that zone keeps 23,859.42 in play. Tech market participation confirms the headline only if semiconductor and AI headlines are driving global investor confidence, but they still need Nasdaq and USD/INR confirmation. Trade the first 15 minutes only if price holds session average and the stop at 22,180.26 stays respected.
