US-Iran talks and oil prices boost sentiment
Investor sentiment improved after the first round of US-Iran negotiations concluded on a positive note.“Indian equity markets advanced alongside regional peers as global sentiment strengthened after the first round of US-Iran negotiations ended on a constructive note. The continuation of technical talks through the week has reinforced hopes of further diplomatic progress, keeping investor optimism cautious but supportive,” Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said, as quoted by news agency PTI.The US and Iran agreed on a roadmap aimed at reaching a final agreement within 60 days following talks held at the Swiss resort of Burgenstock, with mediation by Pakistan and Qatar.Falling crude oil prices also supported equities. Brent crude, the global benchmark, declined 1.66 per cent to $79.23 per barrel, easing concerns about inflation and input costs.
Mixed global cues

US markets remained shut on Friday for the Juneteenth holiday.“The market traded within a narrow range, albeit with a positive bias, as investors continued to assess the progress of US–Iran negotiations. Overall sentiment remained constructive, supported by outperformance in utilities, banking, and healthcare sectors,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited, said, according to PTI.Market participants will continue to monitor developments in global crude prices, US-Iran talks and foreign fund flows for further direction.
