📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • Despite ongoing Israel-Iran tensions, markets rose, driven by large-cap strength as investors focused on long-term fundamentals amid volatility. Geopolitical developments in the Middle East remain a near-term concern, with de-escalation cues closely watched—Brent crude eased slightly to $75/barrel today.

  • Smallcaps may underperform short-term due to elevated valuations and lack of triggers. IT outperformed ahead of the US Fed policy meeting (expected this week), which may clarify interest rate outlooks, while Oil & Gas gained despite geopolitical risks. Analysts expect Nifty to consolidate between 24,500–25,000, with support at 24,300—focus on Fed policy and Middle East updates.

❓ DO YOU KNOW?

The US Fed meeting, starting today, is widely expected to cut rates by 25 bps to 4.25-4.50%, per market consensus, potentially boosting IT sector sentiment further if confirmed.
