  • US-Iran Talks Collapse and Oil Prices Weigh on Markets; Inflation Data and Q4 Earnings in Focus
    April 12, 2026, 6:29 AM EDT. The collapse of US-Iran talks has rattled investor sentiment, with markets expected to open lower after last week's rally driven by a ceasefire and crude oil prices dropping below $100. The failure to reach an agreement over Iran's nuclear program has revived volatility fears. Key events this week include April inflation data and Q4 earnings from major firms including Wipro, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank. Foreign investors have intensified selling pressure, pulling out $5.14 billion this month from Indian equities. Market closures on Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti will shorten trading time, leaving markets sensitive to these developments.
