Trump said on social media that he had extended the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz –a strategically important shipping route between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman and would hold off strikes on Iranian energy facilities for five days.“Indian equities witnessed a constructive rebound, with markets closing on a positive note after the sharp sell-off in the previous session. The recovery was largely driven by a moderation in risk perception, as early signs of potential de-escalation in the ongoing US–Iran tensions helped restore some investor confidence,” said Hariprasad K, Research Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth, PTI quoted.He added that the rally should be viewed in context.“After a sharp, sentiment-driven correction, such rebounds are not uncommon and often reflect a combination of short covering and value buying. Investors typically use such dislocations to accumulate quality stocks at relatively attractive valuations, rather than it being a signal of a structural trend reversal,” Hariprasad said.Asian markets ended sharply higher, with South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225, Shanghai’s SSE Composite and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng posting gains.European markets were trading mostly lower, while US equities had ended higher on Monday.“The domestic market witnessed a relief rally following a temporary pause in attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure, which could lead to further leeway in easing West Asia-related tensions. However, caution persists as investors await greater clarity on developments around the Strait of Hormuz,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited.Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 1.96 per cent to $101.9 per barrel.Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 10,414.23 crore on Monday, according to exchange data.
