Market participants are assessing a mix of global and domestic factors. According to market experts, a potential easing of geopolitical tensions, increased participation by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), and softer crude oil prices could provide support to markets in the coming days.
Analysts said international conditions are gradually stabilizing. Discussions around a potential peace agreement between the United States and Iran, along with expectations of the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, have contributed to a positive global market environment.
