Oil prices surged over 8% as Israel launched overnight strikes on key nuclear and military sites in Iran, escalating Middle East tensions. Brent jumped to $74.78 and WTI to $73.81 per barrel. Israel targeted Arak, Isfahan, Natanz, and Tehran, with reports of top Iranian military and nuclear leaders killed. Iran responded by calling the attack an act of war and launching 100 drones. While oil markets reacted sharply, analysts believe prices may stabilize unless key energy infrastructure—like the Kharg or Abadan facilities—is hit, which could trigger further spikes.

Kunal Rambhai candidly admits missing out on the rally in Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group stocks, particularly Reliance Power and Reliance Infra, as they never fit his technical entry criteria.

Markets witnessed mild profit booking amid weekly expiry pressures. Nifty slipped below 25,000, with most sectors showing weakness. However, select segments like IT, defence, and chemical stocks outperformed. IT majors such as Infosys, TCS, and HCL Tech saw value buying, while midcap names like Tanla and Happiest Minds also surged. Defence stocks including Mazagon Dock, Cochin Shipyard, BEL, and BDL rallied on strong volumes. Chemical counters like Naveen Fluorine and Viniti Organics gained on supply chain concerns due to Middle East tensions. Volume buzzers included MCX, Intellect Design, and Solar Industries, which hit fresh highs. Despite broader market softness, strength was visible in select pockets.
In this edition market guru , we delve into the recent 40% surge in crude oil prices — from $56 to $76 per barrel — and examine its implications for Indian equities. With heightened tensions in the Middle East, particularly the Iran-Israel conflict, questions are being raised about how long the rally in oil can sustain and whether it poses a serious threat to India’s economy. While India has shifted its oil sourcing from Iran to Russia, and global demand remains subdued due to slowdowns in major economies like the US, the risk of a flare-up remains. As long as prices remain under $80, the situation appears manageable, but any escalation in geopolitical tensions could change that outlook swiftly. Tune in as we decode how crude price volatility, global GDP trends, and strategic oil supply decisions could impact Indian markets.
As mid and smallcap indices show signs of recovery, retail investors are wondering if it's the right time to dive in — or hold back. But should you be chasing index performance at all? Abhishek Basumallick, Co-Founder and Fund Manager at Shree Rama Managers PMS, shares why index-based investing may not be the smartest route in the current market cycle. He argues that true returns come from selective stock-picking and understanding the long-term growth of underlying businesses. With indices heavily weighted towards certain sectors like financials, a broader portfolio could underperform the benchmark. For retail investors, the key is clarity, patience, and a focus on absolute growth over 3–5 years, not short-term index movements.
Despite strong macro tailwinds, FMCG stocks remain sluggish. Why isn't the sector rallying even with favorable monsoons, rate cuts, and budgetary support? Catch Abhishek Basumallick of Shree Rama Managers PMS decoding the hidden threats that could be holding back India’s consumption engine.
In this episode of Market Guru on Business Today, Manish Sonthalia, Director and CIO at Emkay Investment Managers, paints a bullish picture of Indian equities despite global uncertainties. He highlights how front-loaded RBI rate cuts and significant liquidity infusion are likely to fuel asset price inflation across sectors such as PSU banks, NBFCs, real estate, capital markets, infrastructure, travel, hotels and QSRs. He believes markets will overshoot fundamentals in the short term due to this liquidity-driven momentum. On commodities, Sonthalia maintains a constructive view, recommending a 10–15% portfolio allocation to precious metals, favouring silver over gold due to a stretched valuation ratio. He also anticipates bond funds to benefit further as interest rates fall. Despite concerns around crude oil and Middle East tensions, he sees no immediate threat, calling India a relative safe haven in the current global landscape.
In this video, we address a crucial topic that affects countless retail investors—especially those tempted by low-ticket price stocks. Many believe that buying more shares of a cheap stock can translate into higher returns. But is that really the case? Sakshi Batra is joined by Nilesh Jain, Head VP - Technical and Derivatives Research at Centrum, who shares his expert insights on one such penny stock that has dropped over 40% in the last year. Once trading at ₹270 back in 2010, the stock fell to under ₹2 during the COVID crash, rebounded to ₹30, and now trades around ₹13—highlighting its extreme volatility. Nilesh explains why this stock, despite its low price, is best avoided by investors due to a lack of strong fundamentals and recent technical breakdowns. He outlines a cautious approach for those already holding the stock, including a strict stop-loss strategy and potential exit levels. If you’re a retail investor drawn to penny stocks hoping for a turnaround, this is a must-watch for you.

Despite rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and crude oil futures hitting January highs, Nifty has surged past the 24,900 mark. The market is witnessing a stock-rotation trend, with IT stocks — previously lagging in the rally — showing signs of revival. Meanwhile, oil marketing and paint companies may face profit booking pressure due to rising crude prices. Caution remains the dominant sentiment as the index is likely to remain in a narrow, downward-facing band. Catch Shailendra Bhatnagar’s market commentary as he decodes the trends, sectors to watch, and key trading cues ahead.
As we approach the second half of 2025, the market focus shifts towards sectors likely to benefit from festive season tailwinds and broader economic momentum. In this exclusive conversation, Angel One’s Senior Research Analyst, Osho Krishan, shares his top stock picks with a short-term horizon of six months. He highlights Wipro from the IT pack as a strong technical bet, currently positioned at a robust support level with a favourable risk-reward ratio. In the automobile sector, both Tata Motors and Hero MotoCorp are expected to deliver upside potential, backed by positive chart setups and consolidation breakouts. Additionally, Osho draws attention to the fertiliser space as another segment to keep an eye on in the upcoming quarters. If you're planning to position your portfolio for year-end gains, don’t miss these insightful recommendations.
In this detailed market outlook, Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments, shares his analysis on how the markets have reacted after a volatile start. Despite initial jitters that made the day feel like a “Friday the 13th,” the Nifty showed resilience by recovering from its lows and nearing the day’s high at 24,732. Jain highlights that as long as today’s low remains protected, the gap created earlier is likely to be covered between Monday and Tuesday. He expects the index to potentially reach 24,850, with momentum favouring a near-term upside. Importantly, mid-cap and small-cap stocks have remained largely unaffected by the recent fall, which, according to him, signals underlying market strength. Jain believes that the current reaction appears weak and, if key support levels hold, the market could resume its upward trajectory.
