Key benchmark indices ended lower on Monday, with the Nifty slipping 0.14% to 24,219.05, as investors turned cautious ahead of details of new US sanctions on Iran. The market reversed early gains as geopolitical uncertainty and elevated crude prices weighed on sentiment, although buying in IT and metals stocks helped the Nifty recover from its intraday low of 24,144.30 and close above 24,200. Major sectors declined, with financials among the key drags. In the broader market, midcaps edged higher and smallcaps fell. Brent crude remained elevated near $93 a barrel as markets assessed the potential impact of tougher US sanctions and Iran's threat to disrupt Gulf oil exports.
