A broader rally and combined institutional buying improve the market setup, but rising crude oil remains the decisive test.

The US-Iran conflict has escalated near the Strait of Hormuz after the US struck an Iranian drone control site near Bandar Abbas. Iran claimed it fired warning shots near vessels trying to cross the key oil route, while oil prices rose over 3%.

Trump postpones Tuesday's Iran strike as Gulf neighbors beg for diplomacy — but UAE's nuclear power plant was just hit by a drone, peace talks are deadlocked, and India's fuel prices are burning. Here is everything that happened till now.

Sector-wise, auto, FMCG, power, pharma and telecom indices gained around 0.5% each. However, realty fell 1.4%, consumer durables slipped 1%, and private banking declined 0.5%.

The Strait of Hormuz is still effectively closed. Peace talks have stalled. WTI crossed $106. And analysts are now debating whether $140 per barrel is a matter of when, not if.

Brent crude touched $96.50 a barrel after the Strait of Hormuz was blocked. For a country that imports over 85% of its oil, India just got handed one of its most uncomfortable economic problems of the year.
