The Indian headline indices, Sensex and Nifty, opened the week on a strong note with both benchmarks in the green. The Sensex began the day above 81,000 and is currently racing fast towards the 81,900 mark, while the Nifty is rallyingpast 24,700. The mood was lifted by news of a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, bringing some relief to geopolitical nerves.

Boosting optimism further were encouraging updates from Switzerland, where high-level trade talks between the US and China concluded with both parties signaling an “important consensus.” In response, US futures surged nearly 400 points. This wave of global reassurance is also reflected across Asian markets, with early gains seen in indices from Japan, South Korea, and Australia—highlighting renewed hopes for de-escalation and strengthened economic collaboration.

Three Reasons Behind Today’s Market Surge –

India-Pakistan Ceasefire:
Following days of heightened tensions along the border, India and Pakistan have reached a ceasefire agreement, providing relief to regional markets and easing diplomatic strains. The agreement, formalized after discussions between military officials from both nations, comes in the wake of India’s forceful response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives.

US-China Trade Talks:
Markets received a boost over the weekend as the US and China made encouraging strides toward resolving their prolonged trade dispute. After high-level discussions in Switzerland, both sides expressed optimism. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the meetings “highly productive,” while China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng confirmed they had reached an “important consensus.” A joint statement is anticipated soon, with potential measures aimed at narrowing the US trade deficit.

US Futures Rally:
US stock futures surged over 400 points ahead of the 9 AM ET session, driven by optimism around the progress in US-China tariff negotiations. A formal announcement from the US President is expected. On Friday, however, the Dow Jones ended 119 points lower, the S&P 500 saw a slight dip, and the Nasdaq remained mostly flat.
