Key Highlights
• Geopolitical Tensions: India’s “Operation Sindoor” on May 7, 2025, targeting terror camps in Pakistan, and Pakistan’s failed drone/missile attacks on May 7-8, 2025, have heightened market volatility. Markets showed resilience on May 7 but fell on May 8 due to profit booking and cautious sentiment.
• Corporate Updates:
• Larsen & Toubro (L&T): Reported a 25% YoY rise in Q4 FY25 net profit to ₹5,497 crore, with revenue up 11% to ₹74,392 crore. Recommended a final dividend of ₹34 per share.

• Economic Indicators: India’s consumer price inflation hit a 67-month low of 3.34% in March 2025, potentially lowering FY26 CPI forecasts below 4%.
Outlook
• Indian markets may open lower on May 9, 2025, as indicated by Gift Nifty’s decline. Investors are likely to remain cautious due to ongoing India-Pakistan tensions, though analysts expect any market impact to be short-lived unless escalation affects trade or economic hubs.
• Globally, stable US markets and mixed Asian cues suggest cautious optimism, but tariff concerns and geopolitical developments will remain key drivers.
