Why are Indian shares expected to open higher on Monday, and what key development triggered this global rally?

Indian shares are set to open higher on Monday, tracking a global rally triggered by an announced diplomatic breakthrough in the U.S.-Iran conflict: U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran's deputy foreign minister stated an initial deal had been reached to end the war and resume traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with a memorandum of understanding scheduled for signing in Switzerland. This de-escalation reduced geopolitical risk and boosted global risk appetite, reflected in the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex rising about 2% and 2.3% respectively on Friday, and GIFT Nifty futures indicating a ~1.5% opening gain on Monday.

How does the drop in oil prices benefit India’s economy, and which domestic sectors are expected to gain most?

The drop in oil prices — Brent crude falling 4.1% to $84 a barrel, the lowest since March — benefits India as the world's third-largest oil importer by easing pressure on inflation, the rupee, and the trade deficit; analysts explicitly noted the crude price decline 'eases inflationary pressures and improves the macroeconomic outlook'. Consequently, oil marketing companies, tyre makers, paint makers, and airlines are highlighted as sectors likely to rise due to lower input costs from cheaper crude.
