When distant conflicts ignite, no market stands apart from the tremor. On Friday, India's Nifty50 and Sensex each fell more than one percent as escalating tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran unsettled global trading floors, sending foreign capital fleeing and crude oil prices surging. The episode is a reminder that in an interconnected world, the geography of war and the geography of investment are never truly separate — and that the brief optimism of one session can dissolve entirely when leaders speak of conflicts with 'no time limits.'
