Indian stock market: How are Sensex and Nifty 50 likely to perform next week amid US-Iran war?

Indian benchmark indices ended the holiday-shortened week on a firm note, with the Sensex advancing 0.39% to 77,100.47 and the Nifty gaining 0.18% to 24,056, supported by a sharp pullback in crude oil prices as West Asia tensions eased. Experts highlighted upcoming US PCE, non-farm payrolls, and Indian IIP and PMI data as key triggers, alongside sustained FII participation and crude trends for the next leg of the rally. Technical outlook remains constructively positive, with Nifty facing resistance at 24,400 to 24,500 and Sensex resistance at 77,500 to 77,700.
