Why it matters
The market movement was influenced by the global oil benchmark, Brent crude, which traded 0.16 per cent high. WTI crude was trading in the $89–$90 per barrel range. Market sentiment was bolstered by the combination of easing energy prices and indications of greater stability in the Middle East region.
The market movement occurred amid easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, dovish remarks from the Federal Reserve, and optimism stemming from the India-Japan Summit.
