The Indian market remained nearly flat today, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex showing minimal gains. Despite the global geopolitical tensions, particularly between the US and Iran, which are causing oil prices to rise, the Indian indices managed to hold steady. This resilience is partially due to strong performance in the IT sector, which surged on the back of renewed foreign investment interest, counterbalancing the negative effects of potential rate hikes due to rising inflation. However, the looming threat of inflation breaching the RBI's target could prompt rate hikes, affecting interest-sensitive sectors.
