Market analysts, including Ambareesh Baliga, suggest that a deal could be reached before President Trump's birthday on June 14. However, the previous trading session saw declines due to escalating tensions between the US and Iran, alongside FII outflows affecting market sentiment.

Additionally, the Indian rupee appreciated by more than 0.5%, driven by optimism surrounding a potential peace agreement in the West Asia conflict, which has positively influenced investor confidence.

Market analysts have expressed optimism regarding a possible agreement before June 14.

I believe the agreement could be finalized by then."

In contrast, the previous trading session saw the stock markets close in the red, reflecting volatility due to heightened tensions between the US and Iran. Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) outflows further impacted market sentiment.
