Trump's Iran deal sparks market euphoria, Sensex soars nearly 1,300 points
Mumbai/IBNS: The Indian stock market rallied sharply on Monday after the United States and Iran reached a peace agreement, easing concerns over the ongoing West Asia crisis and triggering a fall in global oil prices, media reports said.
Sensex Jumps Nearly 1,300 Points
The BSE Sensex surged nearly 1,300 points during the opening hour of trade, while the NSE Nifty 50 climbed more than 1 percent to touch 24,011.35.
The momentum remained strong through the morning session, with the Sensex holding gains of over 1,100 points and the Nifty trading more than 300 points higher.
Market experts attributed the rally to improving investor sentiment after geopolitical tensions showed signs of easing and crude oil prices retreated sharply.
Trump Announces Peace Agreement
US President Donald Trump on Monday announced that Washington and Tehran had reached an agreement aimed at ending hostilities in the region.
The deal is expected to come into effect on Friday.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete."
The announcement sparked optimism across global markets, with investors anticipating greater stability in energy supplies and international trade routes.
Why Markets Reacted Positively
The recent escalation between the United States and Iran had raised fears of disruptions in global oil supplies, pushing crude prices higher and weighing on investor confidence worldwide.
India, which imports a significant portion of its crude oil requirements, is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in oil prices.
A decline in crude prices is generally viewed as positive for the country's economy as it helps contain inflation, reduces import costs and supports corporate earnings.
The prospect of a peaceful resolution to the conflict therefore boosted market sentiment, leading to strong buying across sectors on Dalal Street.
