The Indian equity market experienced a rebound in trade, snapping the previous day's sharp decline. Sensex and Nifty indices rose, with the former up 1.05% and the latter up 1.1%. The easing of oil prices provided relief to global markets, with Brent crude moderating to $107 per barrel after reaching $119.13 in the previous session.

Key Drivers:

1. Easing Crude Prices: The moderation in oil prices offered a positive sentiment to investors, who were reassured by recent comments from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu indicating that the war in the West Asia region may end sooner than expected.
2. Value Buying: Investors engaged in value buying, a day after the Indian equity benchmarks slumped more than 3% in their worst session since June 2024. Analysts expected a bounce from the psychologically important 23,000-mark.
3. Firm Global Cues: The U.S. stocks closed lower on Thursday but recovered sharply from session lows following Israel's pledge to halt strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and President Trump's confirmation that there would be no ground troop deployments.
