Global cues mixed, but oil-sensitive names face a fresh headwind
US indices closed flat overnight while Brent climbed for a second session on supply concerns. For Indian markets, that puts paints, tyres and aviation stocks under watch, even as IT gets some support from a softer dollar index. Bank Nifty cooled after three strong sessions — watch for follow-through in financials at the open.
