US-Iran Peace Deal Powers a Market Rally: Sensex Jumps 736 Points to 76,264, Trent Tops the Charts

News of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran lifted Indian equities on Monday, with the Sensex closing up 736.38 points and the Nifty up 231 points. Tata Group's Trent was the standout, surging 5.35%.

The trading week opened on an upbeat note for investors. The announcement of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran clearly buoyed sentiment on Dalal Street, and Indian equities ended Monday firmly in the green. That said, the market could not hold on to all of its intraday strength — by the closing bell both benchmarks had drifted below the highs they touched earlier in the session.
