Positive sentiment among investors was also driven by hopes of easing geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran, despite mixed signals from both sides.

Markets End Sharply Higher

The Nifty rose sharply by 399.75 points, or 1.78 per cent, to settle at 22,912.40. The Sensex also posted solid gains, climbing 1,372.06 points, or 1.89 per cent, to close at 74,068.45.

Technical Outlook

Experts said that from a technical standpoint, the Nifty is showing early signs of a short-term recovery, supported by easing geopolitical pressures and a gap-up opening.

On the downside, 22,700 now acts as an immediate support backed by OI build-up, while the 22,500–22,600 zone continues to be a critical demand area where buying interest is expected to emerge, an analyst stated.

Broader Markets Track Gains

Broader markets mirrored the upbeat mood. The Nifty MidCap index advanced 2.60 per cent, while the Nifty SmallCap index gained 2.63 per cent.

Sectoral Performance

Among sectors, media stocks led the rally, with the Nifty Media index rising over 3 per cent. Auto and banking stocks also performed well, contributing significantly to the market’s overall gains.

On the other hand, the pharma sector lagged behind other indices, registering the smallest increase of the day.

Sentiment Improves Amid Easing Tensions

Analysts said that the market rally reflected improved investor confidence, supported by both sectoral strength and easing concerns over global geopolitical risks.

The recovery was largely driven by a moderation in risk perception, as early signs of potential de-escalation in the ongoing US–Iran tensions helped restore some investor confidence, a market expert stated.

Rupee Remains Weak

Meanwhile, Rupee traded weak near 93.90, down 0.36 per cent, as persistent West Asia tensions and rising crude prices continue to weigh on sentiment, with higher oil costs worsening India’s import outlook.
