Indian Markets Surge After India-Pakistan Ceasefire Announcement

Mumbai, India – Indian equities experienced a robust rally as markets reopened for the first time this morning following the India-Pakistan ceasefire. The ceasefire announcement came after prolonged tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack.

The Sensex, which is the 30-share index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), opened 1,500 points higher, reflecting a 2% rise that signals strong demand. Meanwhile, the Nifty50, representing the top 50 companies on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), gained 500 points shortly before the opening bell at 9:15 AM.

By 9:40 AM, the Sensex had surged by 2,000 points, while Nifty jumped 600 points from its previous closing level. Although violations of the ceasefire were reported shortly after the announcement, the Indian Army confirmed that Sunday night remained largely peaceful.

Market analysts attribute this significant gain to India’s military readiness and resilience, alongside positive global and domestic economic indicators. “Even amid conflicts, the markets have shown impressive resilience with limited losses,” an expert stated.

The rally is also boosted by a recent U.S.-China trade deal, which aids the performance of Asian markets and supports the dollar. According to market observers, this confluence of factors has strengthened the recovery of Indian equities.
