The Indian equities market is expected to open positively, with the GIFT Nifty gaining 171 points (or 0.71%) to trade above 24,100. This rise comes despite the breakdown of peace talks between Iran and the US, which has heightened geopolitical tensions. Asian markets are reflecting similar optimism; Japan's Nikkei 225 surged by 1.33% to 60,480, while South Korea's Kospi climbed 1.79% to 6,591. In the commodities market, crude oil prices increased, with Brent Crude trading at $107 per barrel and WTI Crude at $95 per barrel, as hopes for a resolution to the ongoing conflict diminish. Conversely, gold prices fell below $4,700 per ounce, extending losses from the previous week. Technical analysis indicates that the Nifty 50 is currently hovering around the critical support zone of 23,800, with a decisive breach below this level potentially leading to further declines towards 23,600–23,400.
