What is the story about?
Fresh US-Iran tensions have rattled global markets, with crude price volatility persisting as fears grow over a breakdown of the fragile ceasefire. Back home, equities ended lower, with the Nifty slipping below 24,050 and the rupee hitting a record low, dragged by heavyweights like ICICI Bank and L&T.
In politics, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has refused to resign after the BJP’s sweeping victory, alleging irregularities in the electoral process. Meanwhile, in Tamil Nadu, Vijay’s TVK is exploring alliance pathways to form a government in a hung Assembly.
On the corporate front, Larsen & Toubro reported mixed Q4 earnings and flagged near-term disruptions even as it guided steady FY27 growth. The government cleared a ₹2.55 lakh crore credit scheme to cushion the impact of the West Asia crisis, while the Tata Trusts is set to review its Tata Sons board representation. From succession planning at Biocon to fresh investments by Carrier Global and M&M’s growth outlook, it’s been a packed news cycle.
