New Delhi, Sept. 2 -- The key benchmark indices of the Indian stock market - Sensex, Nifty 50, and Bank Nifty - are likely to remain under pressure as surging crude oil prices and rising global bond yields continue to weigh on investor sentiment amid the escalating tension in the US-Iran war. The Gift Nifty live index is also signalling a tepid start for the Indian stock market today, as it is trading below yesterday's spot Nifty close. However, the index is indicating a price above 24,000 for the 50-stock index, which may boost the morale of Dalal Street bulls.

The Gift Nifty live chart is trading below its previous close and yesterday's spot Nifty close, but it is also indicating that Nifty 50 may open above 24,000.
