Indian Equities End Volatile Session
On 28 April, the Indian equities market experienced a highly volatile session, with the Nifty 50 index closing at 23,995.70, representing a decline of 0.40% or 97 points. This drop was largely attributed to the growing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which had a profound impact on investor sentiment.
The Nifty 50 index faced significant resistance near 24,100-24,150 and eventually slipped below the psychologically important 24,000 mark. This decline was further exacerbated by a surge in Brent crude prices, which rose towards $110 per barrel. The escalation of tensions in the Middle East and the subsequent increase in oil prices had a profound impact on the market, resulting in a decline in investor confidence.
| Index | 28 April Close | Change |

| Nifty 50 | 23,995.70 | -0.40% (-97 points) |
