Card image cap

Markets kick off the week with global tensions in focus as US President Donald Trump announces “Project Freedom” to escort stranded vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran calls the US response to its 14-point proposal unacceptable, keeping geopolitical risks elevated and pushing Brent crude near $108.

US markets ended higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and NASDAQ Composite gaining up to 1.6%, supported by strong earnings from Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Estée Lauder. Economic data remains mixed, with steady manufacturing activity and a rise in consumption.

Back home, Kotak Mahindra Bank reports a stable quarter, while GIFT Nifty suggests a positive start for Indian markets. Investors also keep a close watch on state election results for further cues.
