TLDR
Market Recap: April 06, 2026
On April 06, Indian equities reversed early losses and closed firmly higher as easing hopes around the U.S.-Iran conflict pulled Brent down from about $110 to $107 and revived risk appetite.

Midcap 100 rose 1.5%, and Small-cap 100 gained 1.3%, with banks leading after strong March-quarter loan growth updates.
