Sensex ends 567 pts higher, Nifty closes above 25,950 on Monday rally

Indian benchmark indexes advanced strongly on Monday with the BSE Sensex rising about 567 points to reach 84,700-plus and the Nifty 50 closing above 25,950. Gains were broad-based, with major sectors rallying on hopes of U.S. rate cuts and progress in U.S.–China trade talks. Market activity was bolstered by rising participation from mid-cap and small-cap stocks, both of which gained roughly 0.8-0.9%. Analysts saw this as a technical up-move with a broader bullish bias, though caution remains toward global headwinds.
