Indian markets are expected to stabilise in the near term amid talks of a truce between Israel and Iran and easing crude oil prices, which have improved overall market sentiment. However, the absence of a definitive resolution to geopolitical tensions, coupled with concerns over inflation, commodity price volatility and monsoon trends, may keep investors cautious and limit upside. Domestic markets ended higher on Tuesday, aided by gains in banking and financial stocks after the RBI unveiled a concessional forex swap facility aimed at easing overseas borrowings and improving foreign currency liquidity. The move boosted sentiment across the banking space, with the Bank Nifty gaining 2%, while the Indian rupee appreciated against the US dollar. Additionally, a 2% decline in crude oil prices and supportive global cues further aided market sentiment. The Nifty gained 0.5% to close at 23,242, while the Midcap100 and Smallcap100 indices advanced 1.4% and 1.8% respectively.  Sectorally, banking stocks outperformed, with the Nifty PSU Bank index rising 3.7% and the Private Bank index gaining 1.8%, supported by broad-based buying interest. Going forward, developments in West Asia, crude oil prices, monsoon progress, IPO activity, foreign fund flows and global macroeconomic cues will be key monitorable.
