Oil Relief & Earnings Certainty Play Out
Indian stock markets witnessed a strong rally on Monday, with the Sensex gaining more than 1,200 points and the Nifty reclaiming the 23,400 mark. The rally was driven by easing crude oil prices, positive developments in West Asia, renewed foreign investment inflows, and strong corporate earnings.
The BSE Sensex surged 1,233.25 points, or 1.66%, to close at 75,692.78, while the NSE Nifty advanced 387.70 points, or 1.68%, to settle at 23,440.80.
Reliance Industries (RIL) emerged as the biggest contributor to the market rally, with its shares jumping 11.6% to approximately ₹1,300. This marked the company's largest single-day gain in over six years, supported by better-than-expected quarterly earnings.
The positive market momentum was further strengthened by expectations of a diplomatic breakthrough in the Iran conflict, declining crude oil prices, and gains across Asian stock markets. Foreign fund inflows also helped boost investor confidence.
