Global stock markets are rebounding amid US-Iran de-escalation signals from President Trump, while commodities face volatility from ongoing Middle East tensions.[1][2]
Stock Highlights
US indices surged on Monday with the Dow up 631 points (1.38%) to 46,447, S&P 500 up 1.15% to 6,000, and Nasdaq up 1.38% to 21,946, driven by Trump’s pause on strikes against Iranian energy sites. Indian benchmarks rallied sharply on Tuesday: Sensex gained 1,372 points (1.5-2%) above 74,000, Nifty crossed 22,900-22,995 amid broad sectoral gains in auto, IT, metals, and banks. However, US futures dipped early Tuesday (Dow -0.78%, S&P -0.52%, Nasdaq -0.48%) as oil resumed climbing and airstrikes persisted.[2][3][4][5][6][1]
Commodity Updates
Oil prices remain elevated with Brent above $100/barrel (up 40% since conflict start), despite brief easing from Trump’s 5-day strike pause; physical Dubai/Oman crude hit $160, signaling supply risks. Gold plunged sharply for nine sessions to MCX lows near Rs 1,37,000-1,39,000/10g (retail 24K ~Rs 14,035/g down Rs 294), pressured by strong USD and rates despite safe-haven demand; silver also fell to ~Rs 2,18,000/kg. Ags like corn/soy hold steady with high US stocks, cotton rallies on short-covering, but metals face surplus outside US.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
Nifty 50 and Sensex closed higher on March 24, 2026, with Nifty up ~1.8-2% at 22,912-22,925 and Sensex up 1.89% at 74,068 amid global relief rally.[1][2][3]
