Indian stocks indices could even see a gap-down start on Tuesday as SGX Nifty futures tanked on early trades losing over 0.70% riding on overall Asian sentiments.
Across the region, stocks have fallen on Tuesday morning trades as a spike in oil prices fuelled inflation concerns and monetary policies.
At Wall Street, technology stocks led the decline with inflationary concerns weighing down on all stock market indices. Dow fell 0.9%, S&P 500 1.3% and Nasdaq 1.2%
US oil prices benchmark West Texas Intermediate jumped 3% to $78 a barrel for the first time since 2014 hit a seven-year high while Brent crude, the international index, rose to $82 a barrel, a first in the past three years.
