Indian equity markets witnessed a strong rally on Tuesday as easing tensions in West Asia boosted investor confidence. The BSE Sensex surged over 1,300 points, while the Nifty 50 also recorded significant gains during the trading session. Market analysts attributed the rise to improved global sentiment after signs of stabilisation in the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the United States. Investors responded positively to expectations of reduced geopolitical risk, particularly in energy markets. Experts said easing crude oil prices and stabilising supply concerns played a key role in driving the rally. However, they cautioned that volatility may persist depending on further developments in the region. © Images used for illustrative purposes only. Copyrights belong to their respective owners.
