Sensex rises 47 points, Nifty closes above 24,200 as market recovers all morning losses. What’s ahead?

Indian benchmark indices erased steep intraday losses to end marginally higher on Monday, supported by a strong rally in IT stocks and continued foreign fund inflows despite escalating tensions between the US and Iran. Analysts said the market's near-term direction will hinge on crude oil prices, with Brent remaining below the key $90-a-barrel threshold.
