Market Outlook

Indian equity benchmarks are poised for a positive start on Friday, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 expected to track firm global markets. Sentiment improved after fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East eased, as the US and Iran continued technical-level discussions despite exchanging fresh military strikes earlier this week. Global cues remained supportive, with most Asian markets trading higher after Wall Street ended the previous session in positive territory. Gains in semiconductor stocks fuelled optimism across the technology sector, lifting broader market sentiment.
