\"Nifty<\/figure>\n\n\n

Indian equities are set for a weak start on Thursday, with Gift Nifty<\/strong> trading below the previous Nifty 50 close and Brent crude above $95<\/strong> a barrel, as escalating US-Iran tensions weigh on risk sentiment and keep traders focused on the 23,000-23,100<\/strong> support zone on the benchmark index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight losses in US and Asian equities, higher US inflation and a firmer volatility gauge suggest a cautious session for the Nifty 50<\/strong> and Sensex<\/strong>, after the domestic market closed mixed on Wednesday with Nifty failing to hold intraday gains above 23,450<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
