Market Surge:

Indian benchmark indices recorded strong gains, with the Sensex jumping over 500 points and the Nifty 50 closing above 24,750. The rally added approximately ₹4 lakh crore to investor wealth in a single trading session.

Catalyst Factors:

Optimism surrounding potential Gulf peace talks significantly boosted investor sentiment across domestic markets. Additional buying momentum came from institutional investors and short covering during the final minutes of trade.

Auction Mechanism:

Trading sessions also highlighted a rare split between Nifty and Sensex movements due to a new closing auction mechanism amid low participation rates. Broad-based buying across heavyweights anchored the overall market advance.
