Five reason why Indian share markets are rising:

#1 West Asia Two-Week Ceasefire

The US announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran just before a key deadline, with Iran agreeing to allow safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz if attacks stop. Israel has also reportedly agreed, easing tensions in the region.

#2 Oil Prices Fall

Oil prices dropped sharply after the ceasefire news, reversing earlier gains caused by fears of supply disruption. However, prices are still higher compared to levels before the conflict began.

#3 Rupee Rebounds

The Indian rupee strengthened as oil prices fell and domestic markets recovered. A weaker dollar and easing US bond yields also supported the currency's gains.

#4 RBI MPC Outcome

The RBI kept interest rates unchanged, taking a cautious approach due to global uncertainties. Policymakers are closely watching the impact of the conflict on inflation and growth.

#5 Asian Stocks Rally

Asian markets surged after the ceasefire announcement, reflecting improved investor sentiment. Major indices in countries like Japan and South Korea saw strong gains.

Speaking of stock markets, Rahul Shah, Research Analyst at Equitymaster, says short-term news creates noise, while investors should focus on long-term growth and think in terms of a 7-year horizon.

He highlights choosing resilient companies with strong finances, low volatility, and reasonable valuations to reduce risk. He also explains that a disciplined, data-based approach helps avoid emotional decisions and improves long-term returns.

Other segments also performed well, with fragrances growing 30%, supported by Fastrack and Skinn. Women's bags saw a strong 47% growth due to store expansion and higher demand. However, Taneira sales remained slightly lower, declining by 1% during the quarter.
