Stock market news
The Indian equities market witnessed a highly volatile week (April 6–10, 2026), but ended with strong gains of around 5.5–6%, marking its best weekly performance in over five years. The week began on a weak note amid rising crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions over the US-Iran situation, and continued FII outflows. However, sentiment improved mid-week sharply following a ceasefire announcement, a decline in oil prices, and a stable RBI policy, triggering a broad-based rally led by financials, realty, and auto stocks.
Despite a brief phase of profit booking, markets regained strength on Friday, with the Nifty reclaiming the 24,000 mark. Overall, resilience in domestic sectors and easing global concerns helped markets recover strongly, even as external factors like oil prices and global cues remained key drivers.
