Indian stock markets soared on Monday, rebounding sharply after the India-Pakistan ceasefire understanding brought relief to jittery investors. The Sensex skyrocketed 1,793.73 points to 81,248.20, while the Nifty surged 553.25 points to 24,561.25. This was the first trading session since the conflict pause, and markets wasted no time in erasing prior losses.

Experts attributed the rally to stabilisation at the borders and renewed investor confidence. “Indian markets weathered the turbulence quite well and are set to recover smartly today,” said market expert Ajay Bagga. Nifty Realty led sectoral gains with a 4% surge, followed by Nifty Auto (2.25%) and Nifty IT (2.16%).

Global cues also added momentum, positive US-China trade talks buoyed sentiment, while gold prices dipped and oil prices rose. As geopolitical tensions eased, equities regained favour, positioning India's markets for a robust near term outlook. Investors now eye sustained growth as calm returns to the region.
