Donald Trump’s recent comment acted as a catalyst for global risk appetite, sparking a rapid rally in Indian markets. The Sensex surged by 700 points, while the Nifty climbed roughly 200 points, hovering near the 24,600 mark.

Heavy buying was concentrated in the FMCG, information technology, and banking sectors, where foreign institutional investors poured capital, pushing share prices higher.
