The Indian markets saw marginal gains with the Sensex up 0.10% and Nifty 50 almost flat at +0.03%. This tepid performance comes amid global geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, which have led to volatility in crude oil prices. Despite the rise in oil prices, the extension of the US waiver allowing India to import Russian crude provided some relief to the energy sector, although the sector still closed lower. The IT sector outperformed due to positive developments like the ASML and Tata Electronics partnership, boosting sentiment and driving gains.
