India’s BSE Sensex finished about 1.6% firmer at 78,111 on Wednesday, the highest in over a month, on easing geopolitical concerns. Investor sentiment improved after President Trump indicated that a second round of US-Iran talks could take place within two days, adding that both sides are keen to reach a deal. This helped ease oil prices, despite the continued US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Sectorally, gains were broad-based. Oil-sensitive stocks, including IndiGo (4.6%), Asian Paints (3%) and Reliance Industries (2.3%) were among the top performers. Infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro, exposed to the Middle East, rose 3.1%. Banks attracted buying interest, with HDFC Bank, Kotak Bank and Bajaj Finserv up around 2% each, while IT stocks also advanced, led by Tech Mahindra and TCS, each rising 3.3%. On the downside, Bahrti Airtel (-0.6%) and ICICI Bank (-0.2%) posted modest declines.
