The Indian stock market had been nervous about the India-Pakistan conflict as it was evident from the surge in India VIX, as it had shot up by 65 percent in just one day following India’s Operation Sindoor, However, the Markets remained resilient all through the conflict, only to fall on Friday. Today we are seeing an 18 percent fall in VIX as two major positive news came over the weekend.
Why the Stock Market Rose Today
One of the major reasons for the Stock market rally is definitely the Ceasefire agreement between India & Pakistan, just hours after major shelling was going on between the two countries. However, the representatives from the Indian Army, the Indian Navy, and the Indian Air Force stated that “we remain fully prepared and ever vigilant and committed to defending the sovereignty and integrity of the motherland.”
Another Reason for the Market to surge could be that the Whitehouse on their official website stated that “U.S. Announces China Trade Deal in Geneva”. However, the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, said that more details will be shared on Monday, but the talks were productive.
