The Indian stock market saw a significant rebound this week, with both the Nifty and Sensex indices rising approximately 6% to close at 24,050.60 and 77,550.25, respectively. This recovery was fueled by positive global cues and investor optimism regarding a potential ceasefire between the US and Iran. However, ongoing geopolitical tensions have kept the market volatile, characterized by sharp mid-week surges followed by profit-taking. Looking ahead, Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, predicts that next week's market movements will largely depend on the outcomes of the US-Iran negotiations, which are expected to influence global risk appetite and crude oil prices. Ajit Mishra, SVP of Research at Religare Broking, advises investors to adopt a balanced approach, focusing on fundamentally strong large-cap stocks while being selective in broader market opportunities. Key technical levels to monitor include 78,000–78,400 for Sensex and 23,500 for Nifty, with the Bank Nifty also showing strong performance, gaining around 8.5%. Investors are encouraged to maintain a cautious stance amidst ongoing volatility.
