Impact of US-Iran War

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has led to a sharp rise in crude oil prices, with Brent crude futures increasing by $2.42 to $114.99. This has resulted in a decline of 11% in the Nifty 50 index for the month of March, marking its worst monthly decline in six years.

Market Outlook

The market is expected to remain volatile due to the ongoing US-Iran war and rising crude oil prices. Valuations now appear more favorable, but the trajectory of earnings revisions remains a key determinant of market direction. Continued volatility in oil prices and rupee weakness may exert pressure on input costs, increasing the risk of near-term earnings downgrades.
