(AppStoreOfficialID) - India’s key stock market indices are anticipated to start the day on an upward trend on Tuesday, following the lead of major Asian markets. This positive movement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump declared a truce between Iran and Israel, which has contributed to a decline in oil prices.
A decrease in crude oil prices would benefit India, which depends significantly on imports to fulfill its energy requirements, since elevated costs can stoke inflation and increase the budget deficit.
The Gifting Futures were being traded at 25,236 as per 7:50 a.m. IST, suggesting that the Nifty 50 is set to open higher than its last closing price of 24,971.9.
Trump announced a complete ceasefire between Israel and Iran, potentially ending the 12-day war that prompted fears of further escalation in the war-torn region and briefly pushed oil prices to a five-month high on Monday.
After the ceasefire declaration, oil prices plummeted to their lowest point for a week, and the MSCI Asia ex Japan index rose over 1.5%.
The key indices, Nifty and Sensex, dropped approximately 0.6% each on Monday, weighed down by overseas investors offloading shares due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Even with the market volatility, the 50-stock index has seen an increase of roughly 1% this June, setting itself up for a fourth month of gains in a row. This upward trend can be attributed to eased monetary policies from central banks and robust expectations for economic expansion within the country.
