A Fortnight of Resurgence

Benchmark indices climbed around 4 per cent in a single trading session, driven by easing geopolitical tensions, prospects of a trade deal, renewed FII participation, and growing expectations of a rate cut

The past fortnight has been a long-awaited relief rally for investors, marking the strongest market performance since the downturn that began in late September 2024. Kicking off with a powerful trading session following the India-Pakistan ceasefire agreement, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 climbed nearly 4 per cent, setting an optimistic tone for the days ahead. Importantly, the rally wasn’t just a fleeting spike—it showed remarkable resilience and held its ground throughout the period.
