Indices declines 0.7% amid rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions
equity indices
ended 0.7% lower on Friday after falling as much as 1.6% earlier in the day after Israel's strikes on Iran raised fears of supply disruption of crude oil and a wider conflict in the Middle East. Brent Crude Futures jumped over 7% to $74.6 per barrel on Friday.
Analysts said the underlying bullish undertone helped the market cut a portion of its losses in Friday's trading session. "Despite the bearish news flows, the decline in the market was limited as benchmark Nifty held the key support level of 24,460 and recovered the losses made in the early trading session," said Akshay Chinchalkar, head of research, Axis Securities.

Will Sensex, Nifty open higher amid US–Vietnam trade deal impact?
Sensex and Nifty are likely to experience a modest increase in opening on Thursday, influenced by gains in Asian markets following a new trade agreement between the U.S. and Vietnam. This optimism comes as investors keep a close watch on the progress of a potential US–India trade Nifty futures were trading at 25,584 points at 8:18 am, suggesting an increase from the previous close of 25, Ambala, Sebi registered Research Analyst and Co-Founder of Stock Market Today, said "We can expect Nifty to find support between 25,300 and 25,230 and face resistance near 25,550 and 25,750 in the next session." Asian markets showed mixed reactions, with the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index up by 0.2%. This rise comes ahead of important U.S. jobs data and the consideration of a significant tax and spending bill in the U.S. the U.S. administration announced a 20% tariff on various Vietnamese exports, which President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday, just days before a July 9 deadline for imposing stricter between U.S. and Indian trade representatives are ongoing, aiming to reduce tariffs. However, unresolved issues in U.S. dairy and agriculture sectors persist, according to Broking said that the index (Nifty) tested the immediate support area of 25,400 during Wednesday ahead, index holding above 25,400 on a closing basis will lead to a pullback towards 25,900–26,000 levels in the coming sessions. However, failure to do so may lead to a healthy retracement or consolidation, with the index likely moving within the broader 25,200–25,700 range," it added. As investors prepare for quarterly business updates ahead of first-quarter earnings, the forecast for Nifty suggests a cautious optimism, with a focus on maintaining key support levels.- EndsMust Watch
