Investor Takeaway

After Wednesday’s rally, most investors booked profits on Thursday, leading to a slight decline in indices. On Friday, the markets showed renewed enthusiasm amid easing Middle East tensions and stable crude prices.

However, the sustainability of further recovery will hinge on clarity around the US–Iran situation, trends in energy prices, and improvement in liquidity conditions.
