Stock Market Today: Nifty, Sensex Log Best Session Since May After US-Iran Truce, RBI Policy; Banks Outshine
4 hours ago

Hello and welcome to our live coverage on stock markets

Indian equity benchmarks posted their best closing in nearly a year on Wednesday as a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran eased market anxiety. The Reserve Bank of India's decision to keep repo rates steady pulled up bank, auto and realty stocks.

The Nifty 50 settled 873.7 points or 3.78% higher at 23,997.35. The BSE Sensex added over 2,900 points (3.95%) to close at 77,562.9. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Larsen & Toubro were the top points contributors to the Nifty.

The broader markets matched the performance of the blue-chip gauges. The Nifty Smallcap 250 and Nifty Midcap 150 settled nearly 4% higher. On the BSE, over 3,700 stocks ended higher and 534 declined.

Among sectors, the Nifty Realty, Nifty Auto and Nifty Bank were the top gainers on the NSE. 

US President Donald Trump announced a 'double-sided ceasefire', suspending attacks on Iran for two weeks, subject to Tehran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump added that the US has received a 10-point proposal from Iran, which he described as a workable basis for a longer-term agreement.

Oil prices fell below $100 a barrel after Iran agreed to safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire. West Texas Intermediate for May delivery dropped more than 16% to $94.47 a barrel. Brent crude for June delivery fell more than 15% to $92.21 a barrel.

Elsewhere, Asia markets moved higher, led by South Korea's Kospi.
