Ahead of Market: 10 things that will decide stock market action on Tuesday

Sensex fell 443 points to close at 77,708 and Nifty 50 declined 96 points to 24,238 on Monday, with India VIX easing 2% to 12.90. Market sentiment remains cautious as the collapse of the US-Iran ceasefire pushed crude prices toward $90, raising concerns about global inflation and a hawkish central bank stance. Early Q1 earnings have been encouraging, led by PSU banks, oil and gas, and metals, while Nifty faces immediate resistance at 24,370-24,400 and support at 24,130-24,100.
