Gift Nifty points to a higher open as softer Brent eases risk sentiment
A US-Iran de-escalation signal reduced near-term geopolitical risk, pressuring Brent crude lower and improving risk sentiment into the week's open. Indian equities are set for a firmer start (Gift Nifty higher), but derivatives positioning and a higher India VIX (14.03) indicate elevated volatility around monthly expiry. Markets will stay sensitive to crude stability, FPI flow swings, and Q1FY27 earnings and guidance.
