In the previous session, the Indian markets experienced a modest decline as geopolitical tensions took center stage. President Trump's assertion of US control over the Strait of Hormuz has heightened concerns about potential disruptions in the global oil supply, which weighed on energy stocks. Meanwhile, domestic factors such as rising retail inflation were overshadowed by these global developments, although the Reserve Bank of India maintained its policy rates unchanged.
