Indian markets rallied sharply with the Sensex rising 1.63% and Nifty gaining 1.72%, led by strong buying in financial and cement stocks like Shriram Finance, UltraTech Cement, and Bajaj Finance. Global cues remained highly supportive, with Asian and European markets posting solid gains. However, U.S. markets in the previous session closed lower, dragged by weakness in tech stocks. Despite this, easing volatility signaled improving investor confidence.
