Indian Stock Market to Take Cues from Crude Oil Prices, Global Yields

The Indian stock market is expected to take cues from various factors in the coming week. Crude oil prices, which have been hovering above $100 per barrel, are likely to remain a key trigger for the equity market. The recent easing of oil prices has provided some relief to investors, but concerns over inflationary pressures and higher import costs persist.

Market participants will also closely monitor global bond yields following the US Federal Reserve's latest policy decision. Rising bond yields and a stronger US dollar could dampen risk appetite and trigger capital outflows from emerging markets, including India.

Geopolitical developments surrounding the ongoing US-Iran conflict are another key factor on investors' radar. Iran has reportedly proposed a seven-day framework aimed at restoring normal shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for easing sanctions and broader ceasefire measures.
