US-Iran peace deal sparks Dalal Street rally; Sensex jumps as oil prices slide
Mumbai/IBNS: The Indian stock market witnessed a volatile start on Wednesday before stabilising as investors cheered the US-Iran peace deal, according to media reports.
The BSE Sensex gained over 300 points in early trade, while the NSE Nifty rose more than 70 points, recovering from initial fluctuations and reflecting improved investor sentiment.
US-Iran Agreement Boosts Investor Confidence
Market optimism was driven by the reported agreement between the United States and Iran, which has eased concerns over escalating tensions in West Asia.
Investors welcomed signs of geopolitical stability, hoping the deal would reduce uncertainties that had weighed on global financial markets in recent months.
Oil Prices Fall on Supply Expectations
The positive sentiment was further supported by a decline in crude oil prices, which had surged earlier amid fears of supply disruptions caused by the West Asia conflict.
With the Strait of Hormuz reopening and trade routes expected to function normally, market participants anticipate a smoother flow of global oil supplies.
India Seen Benefiting From Lower Crude Prices
As a major importer of crude oil, India is expected to benefit from lower energy costs. Analysts believe easing oil prices could help contain inflationary pressures and improve the broader economic outlook, providing additional support to the equity markets.
