What are the key drivers for the Indian Stock Market Today?

- US-Iran Conflict & Oil Prices: Escalating military tensions and renewed disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz have lifted crude oil prices, weighing on global and domestic equities.
- Q1 Earnings: Corporate earnings remain in focus, with IT stocks showing relative resilience, while some sectors, including financials and automobiles, are witnessing profit booking.
- Monsoon & Economic Data: Investors are tracking the progress of the southwest monsoon and inflation trends, both of which could influence economic growth and sector performance.
