As per the latest developments reported, there has been no resolution to the disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, with both the US and the Iranian forces making their claims.

• Rupee Under Pressure: The Indian National Rupee (INR) remains under pressure due to the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the Reserve Bank of India’s rollback of temporary measures that had been supporting the currency.

• FII Outflows: Foreign institutional investors (FII) continue to pull out money from the Indian equity markets. However, the outflow has slowed to just under $5 billion this month from over $12.5 billion in March.
