Closing Bell: Markets Soar as Indo-Pak Ceasefire Sparks Rally; Nifty Hits 24,900, Sensex Jumps 2,900 Points

In a powerful rally driven by positive geopolitical news, Indian stock markets ended the day on a high note, with both benchmark indices posting impressive gains. The rally came after the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, which boosted investor sentiment and triggered a broad-based surge across sectors.

Nifty Soars Past 24,900, Sensex Up 2,900 Points

The Nifty 50 surged past the 24,900 mark, while the Sensex skyrocketed by 2,900 points, marking one of the strongest closing performances in recent months. The positive momentum was visible across the board as all sectoral indices ended in the green.

Realty and Power Stocks Shine Bright

Among the top-performing sectors were realty and power, both of which saw robust gains of 4-5%. This sharp rise reflects renewed investor interest in sectors that are sensitive to economic and political stability.

Real estate stocks particularly stole the spotlight, as confidence returned to the market following the de-escalation of tensions between the two neighboring nations.

Midcap and Smallcap Stocks Join the Rally

The rally wasn’t limited to just large-cap stocks. BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices also posted strong gains, rising 3-4%, indicating widespread buying across the broader market. This is seen as a healthy sign of a balanced and optimistic market sentiment.

Infosys, Adani Enterprises Among Top Nifty Gainers

Leading the charge on the Nifty were Infosys, Adani Enterprises, Shriram Finance, Trent, and HCL Tech. These stocks emerged as the biggest Nifty gainers, with strong investor interest pushing their prices higher.

Their performance reflects a growing confidence in IT, infrastructure, and financial sectors—areas expected to benefit from improved regional stability.

Sun Pharma, IndusInd Bank End in Red

On a day filled with gains, Sun Pharma and IndusInd Bank were the only notable losers, ending the session in negative territory. Despite the broader market rally, these stocks saw some selling pressure, possibly due to company-specific developments.

In conclusion, the stock market witnessed a powerful rally, driven by the positive news of an Indo-Pak ceasefire. With Nifty breaching 24,900 and the Sensex jumping 2,900 points, investors are clearly hopeful about a more stable geopolitical environment ahead. Strong performances across all sectoral indices, midcap, and smallcap stocks reflect a broad-based optimism that may carry forward into the next sessions.
