India stocks slide at open as Brent crude trades above USD 108; Sensex down 593, Nifty off 207

AI Market Summary
Escalating West Asia tensions, framed as direct US-Iran conflict, pushed Brent crude above USD 108, intensifying inflation and growth risks for oil-importing economies and pressuring equity risk appetite. India's Sensex and Nifty opened sharply lower with broad sector declines, while a wider Asian selloff reinforced risk-off conditions. Rising US 10-year yields near 5% add an additional valuation headwind for global equities.
