Nifty reclaims 25,250-mark in early trade; investor wealth jumps by ₹4 lakh crore as geopolitical tensions ease.
New Delhi, June 24, 2025:
The Indian stock market opened with a roar on Tuesday, with the Sensex jumping over 900 points and the Nifty 50 crossing the 25,250 mark in early trade. The bullish sentiment comes in the wake of the Israel-Iran ceasefire, which brought much-needed relief to global investors worried about escalating geopolitical risks.
The Sensex opened at 82,534.61, surging past the previous close of 81,896.79. It touched an intraday high of 82,827, reflecting gains of more than 900 points or 1.12%. Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 opened strong at 25,179.90 and quickly hit a high of 25,250.85, climbing more than 265 points or 1.06%.

This positive market momentum translated into a sharp rise in investor wealth. The market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies rose from ₹448 lakh crore to nearly ₹452 lakh crore, creating ₹4 lakh crore in wealth in just the first few minutes of trading.
Why is the market rising?
The surge is largely attributed to the de-escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran, which had spooked markets over the past week. The ceasefire, brokered with diplomatic involvement from the UN and several Gulf countries, has helped cool down oil prices and improved global risk sentiment.

Lower oil prices are a significant boon for India, which is a major crude importer. A reduction in geopolitical uncertainty also tends to attract foreign institutional investors (FIIs), who had been cautiously pulling back over the past few sessions.
Analysts believe today’s rally is also supported by strong domestic fundamentals and optimism around quarterly results. Sectors like banking, infrastructure, and consumer goods were leading the gains.
