🌍 Geopolitical Catalyst: The Trump Ceasefire Announcement
A major factor behind today’s rally is the ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, which ends the 12-day war that threatened to escalate into a broader Middle East conflict. The statement from Donald Trump declares a 24-hour ceasefire, split into two 12-hour periods starting with Iran and then Israel. The announcement is seen as a de-escalation of global tensions, immediately easing concerns over oil price spikes and inflation risks.
This geopolitical détente triggered a relief rally across global equity markets, with India following suit due to its sensitivity to oil prices and foreign capital flows.
🔍 Market Outlook
With both benchmark indices flirting with breakout levels and momentum indicators supporting the uptrend, the immediate outlook remains bullish. However, investors should monitor:
- Global follow-through on the ceasefire agreement
- Crude oil price stabilization
- FII activity and macroeconomic data points (like inflation, GDP)
