The Indian markets closed slightly higher, riding on optimism from potential easing of geopolitical tensions due to the US-Iran deal. This development has led to a plunge in global oil prices, benefiting energy-importing countries like India by potentially reducing inflationary pressures. However, the market remained cautious as Fed meeting minutes hinted at possible rate hikes, which could trigger capital outflows and weaken the rupee. Additionally, domestic concerns over rising fuel prices continue to loom, posing a risk to consumer spending and inflation.
