The Indian equity benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty 50, continued their explosive uptrend this Thursday morning. Investor sentiment is riding high on hopes of an early de-escalation in the U.S.–Iran conflict and a significant cooling off in global crude oil prices.

As of 9:16 AM IST, the indices are trading in a strong green zone:

2. Key Market Drivers Today
De-escalation Hopes
The primary catalyst is the news from Washington and Tehran. US President Donald Trump’s statement that the conflict is “close to over” has significantly boosted risk appetite globally. This has led to a major “Risk-on” rally across Asian and US markets.
Crude Oil Cools Down
Optimism regarding the Strait of Hormuz supply routes has brought Brent Crude prices down to around $94.50 per barrel. For India, this is a massive relief, directly benefiting sectors like Aviation, Paints, and OMCs.
Foreign Inflows Return
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) turned net buyers yesterday (₹666 crore), and that momentum is continuing this morning as global liquidity shifts back to emerging markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Will Nifty hit 24,500 today?
With current momentum, Nifty is eyeing the 24,350–24,600 zone. If the global positive cues hold throughout the session, 24,500 is very much on the cards.
Q2. Is it safe to enter the market now?
Analysts suggest a “positive yet cautious” stance. While the trend is constructive, the resistance near 24,800 (200-DEMA) is the key hurdle to watch.
Q3. Why are oil-sensitive stocks rising?
Since Brent Crude has dropped to $94, companies like Asian Paints and IndiGo save on raw material costs, which directly boosts their margins.
Pro-Tip for Traders
Keep an eye on the 57,100 zone for Bank Nifty; this aligns with the 200 DMA and could be a major breakout point today. Immediate support for Nifty has now shifted higher to the 24,000–23,900 range.
