Sensex, Nifty finish marginally higher amid earnings-led stock moves
• The Sensex and Nifty indices finished marginally higher, driven by earnings-led stock movements despite a subdued overall market sentiment. • Gains were limited by geopolitical uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran conflict and concerns over crude oil prices, as Tehran maintained conditions for reopening waterways. • Global markets showed mixed signals, with the S&P 500 hitting a record high following unexpected July US job losses, which lowered expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike in September.
