Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets extended Thursday’s decline and ended lower, shedding over half a percent. Weak global cues led to a gap-down start for the Nifty; however, selective buying in heavyweights helped trim some of the losses as the session progressed. Eventually, the index settled at 24,718.60, down 0.68 per cent. Most sectors mirrored the overall trend, with FMCG and banking emerging as the top laggards. The broader indices also remained under pressure, losing nearly half a percent each.

 

The initial reaction was largely driven by a sharp rise in crude oil prices due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, a moderation in CPI inflation helped limit the downside. On the technical front, the Nifty slipped below its short-term moving average (20 DEMA) once again but witnessed a swift rebound after testing the lower end of the recent consolidation range (24,500–25,200). This suggests a possibility of continued consolidation in the index.

 

Given the prevailing scenario, traders should maintain a balanced approach with positions on both sides, focusing on stock selection driven by sectoral and thematic trends. It is advisable to avoid aggressive bets and manage risk prudently.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equity benchmarks experienced downward pressure, driven by weak global cues and foreign institutional outflows. Market sentiment was notably impacted by heightened geopolitical tensions following Israel’s military strike on Iran, which significantly increased risk aversion among investors. Although India’s CPI for May eased below the RBI’s comfort threshold—offering a positive macro signal—this was largely overshadowed by external headwinds. Brent crude prices climbed near $76/barrel, their highest this year, raising fears of inflation if tensions persist.  Gold demand remains strong, reflecting a shift to safe-haven assets. In the near term, market sentiment is likely to stay cautious until geopolitical stability returns.

US-China trade deal optimism was short-lived with limited details as US President Trump once again raises the trade tariff uncertainty, which added to the gold appeal. Gold’s rise is further supported by easing inflation pressures in the US both the inflation reports from US has fuelled expectations of aggressive interest rate cuts by the FED, but for the risk of tariff impacts in the coming months. Weakness seen in USD against major currencies. US Dollar weakening is also due to FED likely pausing rate hikes. Global central banks are on pace to accumulate over 1,000 metric tons of gold in 2025, marking a fourth consecutive year of heavy buying.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Escalation in Israel-Iran conflict may push oil prices up another 8-9%, say analyst

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Geopolitical tensions are heating up, and it's impacting the oil market. Israel's airstrikes on Iran have sparked fears of supply disruptions, causing crude oil prices to surge. The market is now on high alert, waiting to see how Iran will respond. If they retaliate, prices could skyrocket even further. The worry is that the situation could escalate into a full-blown regional crisis, which would have significant implications for global oil supplies.

 

In a worst-case scenario, the Strait of Hormuz could be shut down, putting 20 million barrels per day of supply at risk. Prices have already jumped 10%, and any further escalation could push them up another 8-9%. It's a volatile situation, and everyone is holding their breath to see what happens next.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Iran-Israel conflict could impact several key sectors: Anand Rathi's Naveen Vyas

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Since India relies on imports for over 80 per cent of its crude oil needs, a conflict between Iran and Israel, said Naveen Vyas, Senior Vice President, Anand Rathi Global Finance, could keep Brent crude prices elevated. 

 

"Iran holds about 9 per cent of the world's oil reserves, and any disruption could impact several key Indian sectors, including oil marketing companies (such as BPCL, HPCL, and IOC), paints (like Asian Paints and Berger Paints), as well as the automobile and cement industries. These sectors may experience demand slowdown or margin pressure, if tensions escalate and persist for more than 3–6 months, particularly if Brent crude prices rise above the $82–85 per barrel mark," he said.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Iran-Israel conflict could strongly impact India: Bonanza

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Iran-Israel conflict could strongly impact India as it charts its way forward in the energy transition movement. Around 85 per cent of the energy requirements of India are met by west Asian countries including Iran and Israel in terms of crude oil supplies. With the Iran-Israel conflict, the crude oil prices would rise that could disrupt the entire biome of energy economy of the country. Currently, the NIFTY ENERGY index is down 0.57 per cent.

We believe oil & gas companies will witness meaningful impact. Furthermore, we are also looking at supply chain disruptions that could impact the margins of the companies through higher costs and extended lead times. On the other hand, we could see green shoots of upticks in the defence space amidst the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
