Experts commentary:
Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited said, “The prolonged stalemate between the US and Iran continues to cast a shadow over near-term sentiment, yet the equity market managed to recover intraday losses and closed on a flat note, supported by value buying in IT and banking stocks. The ongoing earnings season has provided a constructive narrative, though caution persists as higher bond yields, elevated crude oil prices, and a weakening rupee reinforce inflationary concerns. Investors appear to be adopting a staggered allocation strategy rather than waiting for complete clarity, particularly in export-oriented sectors. A meaningful breakthrough in diplomatic negotiations with Iran—especially regarding uranium stockpiles and sanctions—remains critical for reducing volatility and enabling a decisive upward move in the market.”
Siddhartha Khemka – Head of Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, “Markets are likely to remain event-driven in the near term, with volatility expected to persist amid elevated crude oil prices near USD 106 per barrel, continued weakening rupee (touched new low of 96.2 against the US dollar), rising bond yields and mounting inflationary concerns are collectively creating a challenging backdrop for domestic equities.”
