Indian markets rallied sharply this week on the back of improving global sentiment. The Nifty 50 gained 5.89% to close at 24,050, while the Sensex rose 5.77% to 77,550. The Bank Nifty outperformed, surging 8.4% to 55,912, led by strong buying in financials.
Sectorally, the rally was broad based with cyclicals taking the lead. Nifty Realty topped the charts with a 10.5% gain, followed by Nifty Auto +9.4% and Nifty Metal +6.6%. Meanwhile, defensives lagged, with Nifty IT and Nifty Pharma posting modest gains of 1.3% and 1.5%, respectively.
The key trigger was easing geopolitical tensions amid US - Iran ceasefire talks, which boosted global risk appetite and investor sentiment.
On the macro front, USD/INR remained stable at 92.78, aided by RBI intervention. Precious metals saw mild gains, with gold up 1.65% and silver rising 3.4%.
Overall, sentiment turned decisively positive with a clear tilt toward risk on trades.
