“With the renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and the consequent spike in Brent crude to $76, the market is again back to uncertain territory. How long this would last and what would be its consequences are now in the realm of uncertainty. The market was slowly gaining strength on positive FII activity and improving macro fundamentals. The renewed US- Iran tensions have put a temporary question mark on this positive development. Therefore, investors have to wait and watch the developments,” said Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.
