Market Highlights

Consumer durable stocks remained active during Friday's session. LG Electronics India gained around 9–10%, supported by strong Q1 FY27 results, with the stock also touching a fresh record high.

On the other hand, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles witnessed significant selling pressure following its Q1 results and emerged as the weakest-performing Nifty 50 stock.

Market Outlook

Rising crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remained key concerns for Indian equities. Higher crude prices can put pressure on India's import bill, inflation outlook and corporate margins.

Investors are likely to keep an eye on global markets, crude oil prices, foreign institutional flows and upcoming corporate developments in the next trading session.
