Sensex soars 700+ points! Here's what's fueling Dalal Street's surprise rally despite West Asia tensions

| @indiablooms | Jul 10, 2026, at 10:15 am

Mumbai/IBNS: The Indian stock market rallied for the second consecutive session on Friday despite escalating tensions in West Asia, reflecting strong investor confidence and buying in information technology stocks.

The benchmark BSE Sensex surged more than 700 points at the opening bell, while the NSE Nifty 50 climbed nearly 0.86 percent to 24,168.80 in early trade.

IT stocks lead the rally

The market's upward momentum was largely driven by gains in IT stocks after Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced its first-quarter earnings on Thursday.

Positive sentiment surrounding the country's largest IT services company boosted the broader technology sector, helping offset concerns over geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East.

Markets shrug off geopolitical concerns

Despite growing tensions in West Asia, investors remained focused on strong corporate earnings and sector-specific optimism, allowing domestic equities to continue their upward trajectory for a second straight trading session.
