In its sharpest single-day rally of 2025 so far, the Nifty 50 index surged 688.25 points or 2.87% on May 12 to close at 24,696.25. The Sensex also jumped 2.79%, ending the session at 81,670.68. Today’s rally marked a significant recovery for Indian equity markets amid easing geopolitical and global trade tensions.
The dramatic uptick followed two key developments: a formal ceasefire announcement between India and Pakistan on Saturday evening, and positive signals from US-China trade negotiations in Geneva. These dual tailwinds lifted investor sentiment globally, with oil prices rebounding and gold rates softening. US futures were also trading higher early Monday.
India’s ceasefire announcement came after Operation Sindoor, with top military officials from both sides agreeing to halt further military engagement. Markets, which had been under pressure due to border tensions, responded positively to the clarity.
With today’s gains, the Nifty has now moved firmly past the 24,000 level, recovering sharply from recent jitters and reaffirming strength across sectors.
