Asian markets fell while crude oil prices surged amid warnings Russia was set to invade Ukraine, risking sanctions that could trigger a further spike in energy costs and stoke global inflation, said a Reuters report.

“There are strong headwinds for the market arising from Ukraine tensions and monetary tightening by the Fed expected from March onwards,” Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said.

“Adding to these headwinds there are concerns specific to India like sustained FII selling and rising crude. Brent crude at around $ 94 a barrel can aggravate inflation in India and depreciating rupee may further prompt FIIs to sell. Retail investor optimism and cash-rich DIIs are positives,” he said.

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have withdrawn a net Rs 18,856 crore from the Indian markets in February so far amid geopolitical tensions and chances of a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. This is the fifth consecutive month of foreign fund outflows, PTI reported.
