By Ruchir SankhlaNifty 50 closed lower on September 28 as rising crude oil and continued foreign investor selling weighed on sentiment. Brent crude jumped back above $106 per barrel after US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s proposal to resolve the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, reviving concerns over oil supply disruptions.
Last week, Indian equities logged their longest weekly losing streak in six years, as high crude prices, rising bond yields and persistent FII selling kept risk appetite weak. FIIs sold equities worth Rs 3,693.9 crore on Friday, while DIIs partly offset the pressure with purchases worth Rs 2,838.2 crore.
Looking ahead, the markets in India will remain closed on Friday for Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, and Investors will track developments in the US-Iran talks, crude oil prices, rupee movement, foreign investor activity, US jobs and inflation data, and domestic macro indicators such as August industrial production and manufacturing PMI. Ajit Mishra, SVP – Research at Religare Broking, said, “Any progress on a framework for reopening the Strait of Hormuz could ease energy prices and provide some relief to India's import bill and the rupee, while renewed geopolitical tensions could keep volatility elevated.”
