THE BIG MOVERS @ 9.30 AM — Friday, 24th April 2026
Indian markets opened on a mixed note, mirroring subdued cues from Asian peers amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty. Sentiment remained cautious after Donald Trump claimed U.S. control over the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns over global oil supply disruptions. Meanwhile, extension of the Israel–Lebanon ceasefire by three weeks offered some relief, though tensions remain elevated. The U.S. stance on Iran and ongoing Middle East developments continue to keep investors risk-averse, leading to a volatile and range-bound market sentiment.

KEY THEMES FOR THE DAY
👉 U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Iran is facing leadership confusion and asserted that the U.S. has full control over the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that no ships can pass without U.S. Navy approval, adding the route remains effectively sealed until Iran agrees to a deal.
👉 Donald Trump said the Israel–Lebanon ceasefire has been extended by three weeks following talks between both sides. The U.S. will support Lebanon against Hezbollah and plans to host Benjamin Netanyahu and Michel Aoun for further discussions soon.
👉 India’s Ministry of External Affairs stated it has noted the comments and the U.S. Embassy’s clarification, calling the remarks uninformed, inappropriate, and in poor taste. It emphasized that such statements do not reflect the true nature of the India–U.S. relationship, which is built on mutual respect, trust, and shared strategic interests.
👉 Infosys Ltd reported Q4FY26 with revenue rising 13.4% to ₹46,402 crore and EBITDA up 13.1% with a 24.07% margin. PAT grew 20.1% to ₹8,509 crore. TCV stood at $14.9 billion. FY27 guidance indicates 1.5–3.5% revenue growth and 20–22% operating margins.
👉 Tata Capital reported a steady Q4 performance, with total income rising 2.3% QoQ to ₹8,162 crore. Net profit grew strongly by 19.5% to ₹1,502 crore, indicating improved profitability despite modest growth in overall income during the quarter.
👉 Adani Energy Solutions reported Q4 YoY revenue growth of 16.8% to ₹7,443 crore, while EBITDA declined 4.7% with margin contraction to 28.8%. Despite pressure on profitability, net profit rose 5.7% to ₹684 crore.

⭐️ CRUDE OIL UPDATE⭐️
➡️Brent – Trading at $105.62 per barrel against the previous close of $106.02
➡️WTI – Trading at $96.06 per barrel against the previous close of $96.99
Crude oil prices remained elevated, supported by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Sentiment stayed firm after Donald Trump asserted U.S. control over the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns over supply disruptions. Meanwhile, the extension of the Israel–Lebanon ceasefire provided limited relief, though overall market sentiment remained cautious. Crude traded higher at $105.62 per barrel versus the previous close of $106.02, reflecting ongoing risk premium.
Key Triggers
👉 Phillips 66 has shipped crude oil from Texas to the U.S. East Coast on a foreign-flagged tanker, the first such cargo since Washington waived the Jones Act last month, Kpler ship-tracking data shows.
👉 Canada’s pledge to contribute 23.6 million barrels of oil to the International Energy Agency’s coordinated release will add little new supply to an already tight market because the volumes are not incremental, BMO Capital Markets said in an interview with Bloomberg, adding that the barrels in question were coming from production growth that was already in motion before the Iran-driven disruption.
👉 Russia says it’s still pumping and shipping crude into a tightening global market, but it’s not bringing any new ideas to the table ahead of the next OPEC+ meeting, even as supply shrinks and demand climbs during the worst energy crisis in years.
👉 Japan requested Saudi Arabia to increase oil supplies amid a supply crunch caused by disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz. PM Sanae Takaichi sought support, while Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman assured continued cooperation to stabilize supply and ensure safe navigation.
👉 Mexico will send one million barrels of crude oil to Japan, President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday, noting that up to 1.4 million barrels per day (bpd) of Mexico's total output is used for domestic refineries and the remainder is exported.
👉 U.S. natural gas storage rose by 103B, significantly above the forecast of 96B and the previous 59B. The higher-than-expected build indicates stronger supply or weaker demand, potentially putting downward pressure on natural gas prices in the near term.
