India{sin-quite}s corporate earnings for the quarter ended March 2026 are feeling the economic heat from the recent Israel-US-Iran conflict. While some sectors like NBFCs and metals are set for strong growth, others, particularly oil and gas and auto, face significant profit declines due to crude price spikes and rising input costs. Investors are advised to maintain a cautious outlook.

Gold and silver prices opened marginally lower on MCX on Tuesday as rising Middle East tensions and surging crude oil prices dented investor sentiment. US President Donald Trump’s sharp warning to Iran over reopening a key strait added to uncertainty. Silver futures dropped 0.7%, while gold slipped 0.2%, reflecting cautious trade amid geopolitical risks and volatile global cues.
At 9 am on Monday, the MCX gold June futures contract dipped 0.91% to Rs 1,48,309 per 10 grams, while the MCX silver May futures were down 1.18% to Rs 2,29,750 per kg.
Brokerages see the recent market correction driven by geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices as a buying opportunity, identifying nearly 80 stocks across sectors. While near-term risks remain, valuations have eased and earnings growth outlook stays intact. Analysts expect volatility to persist but believe the downside is largely priced in, making the current phase suitable for gradual accumulation.
Gold and silver prices on MCX opened sharply lower Thursday following U.S. President Trump{sin-quite}s threats of continued military action in Iran. Brent crude surged, while Treasury yields and the dollar index rose, further pressuring precious metals. Experts advise booking profits on rallies and avoiding fresh long positions.
Indian stock markets experienced a significant surge today, with Sensex and Nifty climbing over 2.5%.
