The Indian stock market showed a significant recovery, with both the Nifty and Sensex increasing by around 6%, closing at 24,050.60 and 77,550.25 respectively. This rebound was fueled by positive global cues and hopes for a temporary ceasefire in the ongoing US-Iran conflict. However, geopolitical uncertainties tempered gains. Market experts, including Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, predict continued volatility driven by news flow, particularly regarding US-Iran negotiations, which could directly influence global risk sentiment and crude oil prices. Key upcoming events include the Q4 FY26 earnings reports from over 50 companies, such as Wipro and HDFC Bank, which will be closely monitored. Additionally, crude oil prices have seen their steepest weekly decline since 2022, settling at $95.20 per barrel, raising concerns about supply disruptions. The Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar, closing at ₹92.83, amid rising geopolitical tensions. Foreign institutional investors have been selling off shares, totaling ₹48,213 crore in April alone, although there was a slight shift to buying on Friday, indicating cautious optimism in the market.
