US Market Recap

Wall Street ended lower on Wednesday as rising crude oil prices and continued uncertainty over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz weighed on investor sentiment. Concerns surrounding ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran also kept markets under pressure. The S&P 500 declined 0.32% to 7,728.20, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.34% to 53,791.85, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.60% to 26,445.45, with weakness in large technology stocks such as Alphabet and Amazon dragging the index lower.

Asian Market Update

Asian markets traded mixed on Wednesday as investors monitored fresh developments surrounding efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East. South Korea outperformed regional peers, with the Kospi rising 2.02%, while Japan's Nikkei 225 was largely unchanged, slipping 0.01%. Australia's ASX 200 declined 0.40% as investors remained cautious amid elevated geopolitical risks and higher energy prices.

Commodity Check

Oil prices remained near multi-month highs as markets balanced hopes of diplomatic progress with ongoing disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude traded near $89 per barrel after gaining around 12% over the previous five sessions, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) remained above $83 per barrel. Sentiment received some support after Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said the United States and Iran appeared to be moving closer to an arrangement over the Strait of Hormuz, adding that developments were "shaping up in favour of peace." However, shipping activity through the strategic waterway remains significantly disrupted, keeping concerns over global energy supplies intact. In the domestic bullion market, safe-haven demand remained firm. According to bullions.co.in, 24K gold was quoted at Rs.1,53,840 per 10 grams, while Silver 999 Fine traded at Rs.2,36,150 per kg as of 6:28 a.m.
