The BSE Sensex<\/a> climbed 1,073.61 points, or 1.42 percent, to close at 76,488.96, while the NSE Nifty50<\/a> advanced 312.40 points, or 1.32 percent, to settle at 24,031.70. The rally helped Nifty reclaim the crucial 24,000 mark after several sessions of volatility.<\/p>\n The biggest trigger behind Monday\u2019s rally was the sharp decline in global crude oil prices. Brent crude slipped nearly 5.6 percent to below the $100-per-barrel mark as optimism grew around a potential US-Iran peace agreement.<\/p>\n Lower crude oil prices are considered positive for India because the country imports a large portion of its energy requirements. Softer oil prices help reduce inflation pressure, improve corporate margins and support the rupee.<\/p>\n V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said, \u201cIf this expected deal holds and crude drifts down further, that can turn out to be a turning point for the market.\u201d<\/p>\n Investor confidence also improved after US President Donald Trump stated that Washington and Iran had \u201clargely negotiated\u201d a memorandum of understanding on a peace deal.<\/p>\n Read More : Apollo Micro Jumps 11% as Rajnath Singh Pushes Bigger Private Role in Defence<\/a><\/p>\n Lower crude oil prices are considered positive for India\u2019s economy because the country imports more than 80% of its crude oil requirement.

Buying intensified during the final hour of trade as investors increased exposure to banking, auto and oil-linked stocks.<\/p>\n Several key factors supported the rally:<\/p>\n India VIX, the market\u2019s volatility gauge, dropped 6.74 percent to 16.70, signalling easing nervousness among traders.<\/p>\n Market breadth remained extremely strong:<\/p>\n All 16 sectoral indices ended in the green, reflecting broad participation across sectors.<\/p>\n The top-performing sectors were:<\/p>\n Oil marketing companies emerged as major gainers after crude prices cooled sharply. Shares of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited<\/span><\/span>, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited<\/span><\/span> and Indian Oil Corporation<\/span><\/span> gained between 4 percent and 4.5 percent.<\/p>\n Banking heavyweights also supported the rally. Shares of HDFC Bank<\/span><\/span> rose nearly 2 percent, while ICICI Bank<\/span><\/span> advanced 1.3 percent.<\/p>\n Among the biggest gainers on the Nifty were:<\/p>\n Eicher Motors attracted strong investor interest after reporting quarterly earnings above market expectations. The company posted an 11.6 percent rise in consolidated Q4 net profit, supported by healthy demand.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, shares of Ashok Leyland<\/span><\/span> gained nearly 4 percent after securing an order for 715 vehicles from VRL Logistics.<\/p>\n Despite the broader market rally, a few heavyweight counters closed lower.<\/p>\n Top losers included:<\/p>\n Hindalco Industries remained under pressure after reporting a 50.9 percent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit at \u20b92,597 crore.<\/p>\n The rally was not limited to frontline stocks. Broader markets also participated strongly, with the Nifty Midcap100 rising 0.9 percent and the Nifty Smallcap100 gaining 1.3 percent.<\/p>\n Nearly 150 stocks touched fresh 52-week highs on the BSE, highlighting strong bullish momentum across the market.<\/p>\n Stocks hitting lifetime or yearly highs included:<\/p>\n The Indian rupee extended gains for the third straight session and appreciated 47 paise to close at 95.23 against the US dollar.<\/p>\n A stronger rupee typically supports foreign investor confidence and reduces imported inflation concerns for the Indian economy.<\/p>\n Analysts believe that if crude oil prices remain under control and geopolitical tensions continue to ease, the market could witness further upside momentum in the coming sessions.<\/p>\n Monday\u2019s rally has improved market sentiment considerably after recent volatility. Technical analysts believe the Nifty reclaiming both the 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages is a positive signal for short-term momentum.<\/p>\n Analysts now see immediate support around 23,800, while resistance is placed near 24,200. A sustained breakout above 24,200 could open the door for a move towards 24,350 levels.<\/p>\n For investors, the sharp recovery signals renewed confidence in equities, especially in banking, auto, oil marketing and infrastructure sectors. Traders are also closely tracking global crude oil prices and developments surrounding the US-Iran negotiations, which could continue to influence market direction in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Indian stock market Sensex Soars witnessed a powerful rally on Monday as benchmark indices surged sharply amid easing geopolitical tensions and a steep correction in crude oil prices.
