On the morning of June 9th, Indian equity markets prepared to open under the weight of forces older than any single trading session: rising energy costs, geopolitical unease in the Middle East, and the particular paralysis that descends when the world's signals refuse to cohere. The Sensex and Nifty 50 faced a soft start not out of crisis, but out of that more patient and perhaps more telling condition — collective hesitation. In markets as in life, when the path ahead blurs, the instinct is not always to flee, but sometimes simply to wait.
