The Indian stock market wrapped up the holiday shortened week on a strong note, marking a second straight week of gains, buoyed by easing geopolitical concerns and improving investor sentiment. Optimism over a possible US–Iran peace deal supported confidence, while steady domestic fundamentals added to the positive momentum. Despite some bouts of volatility, the overall trend remained upward, with broader markets outperforming the benchmark indices. As a result, both the Nifty and Sensex rose more than 1% each during the Friday's session, ending at 24,353.55 and 78,493.54, respectively.
