The Indian market closed nearly flat amid global geopolitical tensions impacting energy prices. The rise in oil prices due to renewed US-Iran tensions, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, pressured oil-dependent sectors and currency stability. Despite the increase in energy prices, the media and energy sectors outperformed, driven by domestic factors and institutional buying. Conversely, rising geopolitical risks and potential inflationary pressures capped broader market gains.
