🔍 Market Analysis: What Drove Today’s Rally?
The primary catalyst was US President Donald Trump’s announcement that Washington canceled planned military strikes on Iran and that a peace deal could be reached “as soon as this weekend.” This single development triggered a massive global risk-on surge. India, as a net oil importer, benefited doubly — lower crude prices reduce India’s import bill and ease inflationary pressure.
- Brent Crude dipped to $87.74/bbl, providing relief to India’s current account.
- USD/INR strengthened to ₹95.22, with the rupee gaining ~37 paise on eased oil pressure.
- India VIX dropped sharply by 9.05% to 17.68, signalling calmer markets.
- FII flows remain a risk — FIIs were net sellers on Thursday (–$207.52 mn); a sustained peace deal could reverse this trend.
- Key sectoral gainers: ICICI Bank (+1.69%), M&M (+1.84%), Kotak Mahindra Bank (+1.39%), HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finance, L&T, IndiGo.
- Laggards: Infosys (–2.25%), HCL Tech (–1.61%) — IT sector remains under pressure from AI disruption concerns.

🔭 Outlook: What to Watch Next Week
- US–Iran Peace Talks: Any formal ceasefire agreement over the weekend could push Nifty toward the 24,000 zone. Failure to agree could reverse gains sharply.
- India CPI Data: May inflation expected at ~4.0% (vs 3.48% in April). A higher print may dampen rate-cut expectations.
- FII Flow Watch: YTD FII outflows are at a record $30.6 billion. Any reversal driven by peace deal and stronger rupee could be a major tailwind.
- F&O Expiry: Monitor Nifty OI buildup — call writers at 23,300–23,400, put support at 23,000–23,100.
- SpaceX Nasdaq Listing: Expected to impact global risk appetite and crypto markets (Elon Musk + crypto correlation).
- Bitcoin: Key support at $62,320. Break above $65,000 would signal recovery. US spot ETF outflows remain a concern.
