MARKET COMMENTARY

May-05-2026 08:43

Indian equity benchmarks, the Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open on a muted note on May 5, tracking weak signals from GIFT Nifty, which is trading slightly lower near 24,033.

In the previous session, domestic markets rebounded strongly on May 4 after Thursday’s sharp decline, driven by broad-based buying. The recovery was supported by encouraging April auto sales data, softer crude oil prices, and positive political developments, boosting overall investor sentiment.

On Monday, the 30-share benchmark index ended at 77269.4 up by 355.9 points or by 0.46 % and then NSE Nifty was at 24119.3 up by 121.75 points or by 0.51 %.

Global cues remain cautious amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Reports suggest fresh exchanges of fire between the US and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz, despite a ceasefire announced just a month ago, raising concerns over prolonged instability and its potential impact on global growth.

Adding to the uncertainty, Iran reportedly carried out missile and drone attacks on the UAE and also targeted a South Korean cargo vessel in the region. US President Donald Trump stated that the US will ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, warning of severe retaliation if American ships are threatened.

In the Asia-Pacific region, most markets remained shut due to holidays, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng declined over 1 per cent.

Overnight, US markets ended lower, with the S&P 500 slipping 0.41 per cent and the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 1.13 per cent, while the Nasdaq Composite closed marginally down by 0.19 per cent.
