From the end of 2020 to the end of 2025, the Nifty 50 rose about 87%. That single number hides an uneven path, a big start-date effect and a very different result in dollars.
Crude oil is India's single most important import. A change in its price travels through four channels: the current account, the rupee, inflation and the government's budget.
The yield curve is a line linking interest rates across different maturities. Its shape is the market's summary of where rates, inflation and growth are heading.
