Global Markets: European equities opened lower on Tuesday as investors keep an eye on earnings. Asian markets traded cautiously amid holiday-thinned volumes, while oil prices edged higher ahead of U.S.'Iran nuclear negotiations set to begin later today in Geneva. The Mainland Chinese, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korean markets were closed on Tuesday for Lunar New Year holidays. U.S. markets were shut on Monday for Presidents' Day. Japan's weakening economy remained in focus on Tuesday, one day after much softer than expected GDP numbers. The country on Monday reported its economy grew an annualized 0.2% in the fourth quarter, far below the widely reported gain forecast of 1.6% as government spending dragged on activity. In today's session, the Japanese yen strengthened 0.15% against the greenback to 153.28 per dollar. The weak figures highlight the challenges ahead for Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and should support her push for more aggressive fiscal stimulus, media reports said. The Bank of Japan next meets on rates in March, with traders forecasting only a slim chance for a hike. Widely reported polls in the media suggest that investors expect the central bank to wait until July before tightening policy again. Meanwhile, oil saw some price gains as investors looked ahead to the U.S. and Iran nuclear negotiations that are scheduled to begin in Geneva later in the day. The higher volatility in crude was triggered by the latest drill that was reportedly held by Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the Hormuz Strait on Monday. The passage accounts for about 20% of global oil shipments. Powered by Capital Market - Live

The company will deploy EVs across North East India, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, marking a significant step in the company's roadmap to scale green logistics. The collaboration introduces a specialized EV-as-a-Service leasing model designed to accelerate the transition for Delhivery's delivery partners.
