Markets open strong as Sensex jumps 720 points, Nifty reclaims 26,000

Sensex rises ~720 pts, Nifty tops 26,000 on global cues; broad-based rally led by metals and oil & gas.
Indian equity markets opened the week on a strong note with the BSE Sensex gaining around 720 points and the Nifty 50 regaining the 26,000–mark, partly driven by softer-than-expected U.S. inflation figures and advancing optimism in U.S.–China trade negotiations. Sector-wide gains included metals and oil & gas. Analysts note that fresh foreign-institutional investor interest and strong global cues are helping drive the rally, but caution the next leg may rely on domestic earnings and policy clarity.
