Stock market today: India’s key stock indexes began higher on Wednesday, drawing positive momentum from global markets due to improved outlook as tensions in the Middle East subsided following a delicate ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
The Nifty 50 gained 0.42%, reaching 25,150.35 points, while the Sensex increased by 0.48% to 82,448.8 as of 9:15 IST.
