Indian Markets Open Flat to Higher Amid US-Iran Peace Deal Hopes and Earnings Season
Indian equity markets opened mostly flat to slightly higher amid hopes for a US-Iran peace deal and ongoing Q1 earnings reports. The Sensex and Nifty showed marginal gains or remained steady, with sectoral performances mixed—pharmaceuticals, IT, and healthcare saw gains, while metals, autos, and realty declined. Analysts noted that the Reserve Bank of India’s recent policy maintained a steady stance, with rate hikes unlikely soon. Crude oil prices eased, supporting market sentiment, while foreign investors sold shares as domestic investors remained active.
