Crucially, the Strait of Hormuz — through which nearly 20% of the world's oil passes — is set to reopen. This single news triggered a massive global market relief rally.

When oil prices fall, India's import bill shrinks, inflation cools, the rupee strengthens, and the government has more money to spend. This makes the entire stock market — especially autos, aviation, paints, and FMCG — very attractive to investors.
