On Thursday, India's benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, surged nearly 2%, marking their fourth consecutive day of rallying. Investors were buoyed by the return of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) to domestic equities, following expectations of progress in US-Japan trade negotiations over reciprocal tariffs. The Sensex jumped 1,508.91 points, reclaiming the 78,000 level, while the Nifty rose 414.45 points. Strong performances from financial stocks, positive FII inflows, and market optimism surrounding potential US-India trade agreements have provided support.
