Stock Market Live: Softer oil, stronger rupee lift sentiment

Rajeev Sharan, Head of Research, Brickwork Ratings

“Talks around a possible US-Iran deal have eased some of the tension in global markets, primarily by lowering the risk premium in crude oil. Brent and WTI have already fallen sharply on hopes of a durable agreement, while global equities have gained on expectations of lower energy costs and improved risk appetite. The rupee has also strengthened modestly, helped by foreign inflows into government bonds after the RBI’s recent measures improved liquidity and investor sentiment. Indian equities have responded positively as softer oil eases pressure on inflation and the external balance, though investors are still cautious about global developments. If diplomatic progress continues, India could benefit from a steadier currency, lower energy import costs, and stronger bond flows, even as the situation remains vulnerable to renewed geopolitical tensions.”
