Sensex rallies over 1,000 points as crude retreats

What happened

Indian equities rallied on Monday, with the Sensex gaining more than 1,000 points intraday and the Nifty touching 23,360. Falling crude prices and Reliance Industries' earnings were cited as supports, while IT and pharma shares lagged.

Why it matters

Lower crude can reduce pressure on India's import bill and support the rupee, helping sentiment across the market. The gains were broad, though some sectors did not participate.

Global impact

Brent crude fell towards $110 a barrel amid renewed diplomatic efforts to end the US-Iran conflict. Easing global market pressures supported sentiment; shifts in oil prices and risk appetite can also reach Indian markets through import costs and foreign flows.
