Stock Market Outlook: Nifty slips on fears of a ceasefire breach. Will the stock market crash? Q4 results for companies including TCS will be released.

News Topical, Digital Desk : After yesterday's explosive rise, the stock market (Stock Market Today) is getting negative signals from Gift Nifty today. Around 7.15 am, Gift Nifty (Gift Nifty Today) is at 23,994 with a decline of 105 points or 0.44 percent.

The main reason for the rise on Wednesday was the ceasefire between Iran and America (Iran-US Ceasefire), which made the sentiment of investors positive. But in the evening, the risk of the ceasefire breaking increased due to the attacks by Israel on Lebanon, on which Iran threatened to retaliate. If the ceasefire breaks, it will be negative for the stock market.

Meanwhile, Iran has announced to close the Strait of Hormuz again, after which the crude oil prices (Crude Oil Price Today) are seeing an increase today. WTI crude jumped 2.58 percent to $96.84 and Brent crude rose 2.15 percent to $96.79 per barrel.

What is the technical outlook?

Analysts say that the stock market will remain positive going forward if it remains above the 20-day EMA and Wednesday's bullish gap area. The current rally could take the Nifty towards the 24,300 and 24,700 levels in the coming sessions. Meanwhile, let's explore which stocks may see movement today.
