Three reasons for the market boom
The main reason for this tremendous rise in the market today was US President Donald Trump agreeing to a ceasefire with Iran for two weeks; This development led to a strong rise in markets across Asia. The second main reason for this positive trend in the market is the softening of crude oil prices due to the ceasefire. As a result, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil saw a decline of up to 19%, while the global benchmark, Brent crude also fell by 16%. Another important reason for the bullish environment in the domestic market is the expectations regarding the outcome of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting to be held today; The details of the results of this meeting are yet to be released.
