🔴 Why the market is under pressure
Middle-East geopolitical tensions → crude oil remains elevated.
High crude + weak rupee can increase India's import/inflation pressure.
US rate expectations are also keeping foreign investors cautious.
Nifty has slipped below the important 23,800 zone, so volatility can remain high.
