• Oil Prices: Global oil prices remained on the edge after fresh tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude traded around $79 per barrel, remaining below the levels seen during the sharp spike in March.

• FII inflows: One of the positives for Indian markets is constant foreign institutional investors’ (FII’s) inflows. They remained net buyers in five out of the last eight trading days.
