Nifty pre-open: 23,940 โฒ 221 pts | Sensex: 76,135 โฒ 720 pts
The biggest pre-open rally in weeks. And this time, the reason is real. ๐
๐๏ธ Iran Blinks โ Enriched Uranium Off The Table
Over the weekend, the story everyone was waiting for finally broke.
Iran signalled it was ready to surrender its enriched uranium stockpile as part of the US-proposed peace deal. Brent crude plunged 3.78% to $96.45 โ breaking below $100 for the first time since the war began in February.
This is not a rumour. This is not a "final stages" tease. Iran moving on enriched uranium โ Trump's central demand โ is the most concrete step toward a deal we have seen in 3 months.
Netanyahu confirmed he spoke with Trump about a memorandum of understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The Hormuz reopening framework is now being drafted.
๐ The World Reacted Instantly
Japan's Nikkei 225 topped 65,000 for the first time ever โ up 3.12%.
Hang Seng 0.36%, ASX 0.86%.
Last Friday, Dow 0.58%, S&P 500 0.37%.
Crude below $100 Asia at multi-year highs GIFT Nifty up 232 points = India's best opening in months.
๐ฎ๐ณ What This Means For India Specifically
Every $10 fall in crude = โน12,000โ15,000 crore saved annually on import bill. Crude going from $110 โ $96 in one weekend = rupee recovery FII return rate cut room for RBI.
Sectors to watch today:
๐ข Aviation โ IndiGo, SpiceJet (ATF costs collapse)
๐ข OMCs โ BPCL, HPCL, IOC (under-recovery pressure eases)
๐ข Paint โ Asian Paints, Berger (input costs fall)
๐ข FMCG & Auto โ margin recovery play
๐ข Banking โ sentiment reversal, FII buying
โ ๏ธ One Caveat
Trump said he has told his negotiators not to rush โ "time is on Washington's side." A deal is closer than ever but not signed. Stay alert to any reversal headline.
Resistance: 24,200 โ 24,500
Support: 23,700 โ 23,500
