The Indian stock market is set for a strong opening on Monday, with benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex expected to extend their recent gains. This optimism follows a 2% increase in the previous week, fueled by hopes of a resolution to the ongoing Iran-US conflict. A 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel has further lifted investor sentiment. Additionally, oil prices have seen a notable decline, with Brent crude falling 9.07% to settle at $90.38 per barrel, following announcements that the Strait of Hormuz is open for commercial vessels. Major banks reported positive earnings, with HDFC Bank posting a 9% increase in net profit to ₹19,221 crore and ICICI Bank seeing an 8.5% rise to ₹13,702 crore. The Indian rupee also strengthened against the US dollar, closing at ₹92.9250, as the Reserve Bank of India implemented measures to stabilize the currency. With foreign institutional investors net buying shares worth ₹683 crore over the last three days, market analysts are optimistic about the upcoming week, closely monitoring geopolitical developments and corporate earnings.
