Nearly the whole stock market was observed trading in red yesterday; the decline was attributed to border tensions with Iran, a neighboring country. Due to easing tensions, the index moved positive on Friday, which is today. The index was observed to be sitting at 63,681.69 points, with an almost 500 point improvement observed in the early morning.

Experts predict that the delivery of the IMF tranche and the recovery of the Rupee would support investor mood in addition to this immediate cause.
