Market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended higher on Wednesday (July 15, 2026), bouncing back from previous session’s sharp decline, led by bank stocks and a softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve may adopt a less aggressive monetary policy stance in the coming months.

Escalating hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, however, kept investors’ sentiment subdued in the later half of the trade, triggering profit-taking.

Global stock markets have completely ignored the renewed tensions, he said.

“This confident message from the market is significant. But investors have to be cautious, warranting monitoring of the developments,” Mr. Vijayakumar added.

Geopolitics has again played spoilsport with the Indian market, which has been slowly strengthening, V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

“There are market indications that things may not deteriorate as feared. First, Brent at $80 is not a problem. It won’t create a BoP (Balance of Payments) crisis. The crisis will re-emerge only if the tensions lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz again, and consequently, crude spiking above $100. The present futures do not reflect such a pessimistic scenario,” he added.

President Donald Trump has withdrawn from his threat to ‘annex Greenland by force, if necessary’. Instead, in Davos on Wednesday (January 21) he said ‘we have reached a framework of a future deal on Greenland’. More importantly, the message that the U.S. would ‘refrain from imposing tariffs on Europe’ takes away the threat of a U.S.- Europe trade war which was dragging the markets down.

“The consequent relief rally in the market on Thursday [January 22] can be significant since there are about 2 lakh short contracts in the market and the market construct is right for short-covering,” V.K. Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd., said.
