pre-market1 source ↓written by the desknot a recommendation
The Centre remains confident in achieving its fiscal deficit target despite recent conflicts in West Asia. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated that easing crude prices and strategic policy interventions are crucial for maintaining macroeconomic stability. The government has sufficient resources to manage increased war-risk insurance costs for shipping in affected areas.
This assurance may bolster market sentiment, particularly in sectors sensitive to crude oil price fluctuations and geopolitical tensions.
