Sensex jumps 530 points as Brent slips to around $88 and WTI drops to $84
AI Market Summary
A sharp pullback in Brent crude (from above $100 to ~ $88) on signs of reduced Middle East escalation improved risk sentiment and supported Indian equities, with oil-sensitive sectors like aviation leading gains. Lower crude eases inflation and import pressures, though technicals and volatile foreign flows keep positioning cautious. Near-term focus shifts to Fed policy, US GDP and PCE data, and continued crude direction.

Brent crude retreated over the week to around $88 per barrel from above $100, while WTI fell more than 6% to $84 per barrel after the Trump administration paused further military action against Iran to allow diplomacy. Indian equities rallied in response, with the Sensex up 530 points on the day. InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) and Tata Consumer Products led gains. Markets this week will watch the Fed decision, US GDP and PCE data after the Nifty50 logged five straight sessions of declines.
