India's equity markets stood at a cautious threshold on Thursday, lifted by a modest overnight tailwind from global gains yet restrained by the weight of unresolved geopolitical tensions — US-Iran conflict and the approaching Trump-Xi summit among them. The Gift Nifty's 65-point premium offered a small reprieve after four days of losses, but the broader market remained in a holding pattern, its direction contingent on forces far beyond the trading floor. In such moments, markets reveal themselves not as engines of certainty, but as mirrors of collective human hesitation.
