Indian benchmark stock indices S&P BSE Sensex and NIFTY 50 rebounded nearly 1% on Monday, snapping a three-day losing streak. This rally was primarily driven by strong performances from Sun Pharma, which jumped 7% after announcing a USD 11.75 billion acquisition of Organon & Co, and Reliance Industries, which rose 2.88%. Other major gainers included Adani Ports & SEZ, Mahindra & Mahindra, Mahindra & Mahindra, ITC Limited, HCLTech, and Tata Consultancy Services. The positive sentiment was also fueled by improving global market trends, with Asian and European markets mostly trading higher, and reports of a potential de-escalation between the United States and Iran around the Strait of Hormuz, which eased supply disruptions. Brent Crude prices also rose. However, some blue-chip firms like Axis Bank, Bharat Electronics, Trent Limited, and ICICI Bank were among the laggards. Foreign Institutional Investors had offloaded a significant amount of equities on the preceding Friday.
