A tentative de-escalation in West Asia set the global tone, with US President Donald Trump announcing a conditional ceasefire with Iran tied to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. While the move has cooled immediate tensions, uncertainties linger around the terms of the truce and its broader regional scope.
Corporate cues remain mixed but active. Energy-linked plays are recalibrating to softer crude, aviation gets a near-term boost from lower airport charges, and TCS kicks off earnings with expectations of steady deal flow and margin support.
Markets cheered the breather. Crude prices tumbled, sparking a risk-on rally that saw Dalal Street add ₹16 lakh crore in a single session, with oil-sensitive sectors leading gains.
Back home, the RBI held rates steady, reinforcing policy continuity amid easing inflation risks. Alongside improving macros, heightened regulatory action and political friction keep the domestic landscape firmly in focus.
