Global Markets:

Asian share markets started the new quarter in a cautious mood on Wednesday as talks between the United States and Iran hit new hurdles.

Tehran said on Tuesday it would not meet with top U.S. envoys who ‌had flown to the region, with the two sides still far apart on a framework that would fully open the Strait of Hormuz.

Bond markets were also under pressure after U.S. Treasury yields spiked overnight as futures narrowed the odds-on rate hikes from the Federal Reserve ahead of crucial jobs figures on Thursday.

All eyes will thus be on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh when he appears at a European Central Bank conference later in the ​session, for any guidance on the need for a tightening.

The S&P BSE Sensex declined 249.70 points or 0.33% to 76,478.67. The Nifty 50 index fell 80.50 points or 0.34% to 23,865.75. In two consecutive trading sessions, the Sensex dropped 0.80% while the Nifty fell 0.79%.
