The US equity rally was led by the Nasdaq 100, which posted a 3.97% gain to 28,208.85, outpacing the Dow Jones (+1.36%) and S&P 500 (+1.91%) on the same day [1]. The jump came after the market opened, with the indices reflecting a broad‑based buying wave across technology and growth stocks. The rise in US equities coincided with a modest easing in global risk sentiment, as investors digested the latest data on oil prices and geopolitical tensions.
In India, the Sensex climbed 889 points to 77,655, while the Nifty crossed the 24,250 mark, both gaining just over 1% [2]. The rally was driven by strong earnings from heavyweights such as Hindustan Unilever and IT firms, offsetting concerns from rising crude oil prices and a weakening rupee. The market‑wide advance added roughly ₹4 lakh crore to BSE market capitalisation, underscoring the breadth of the move despite a narrower bond market range.
The government‑bond market remained tight, with the benchmark 6.94% 2036 yield edging higher to 6.7872% from 6.7774% the previous day [2]. The slight yield rise reflects cautious positioning ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision, as investors weigh global cues from both US equity strength and oil‑price volatility.
The simultaneous strength in US tech‑heavy indices and Indian equities highlights a rare alignment of global risk appetite, yet the near‑term outlook hinges on central‑bank actions and commodity price developments.
