Sensex and Nifty Rise on Easing Middle East Tensions and Falling Crude Prices
Indian stock markets opened higher on August 3, 2026, with the Sensex rising over 500 points and the Nifty crossing 24,500, driven by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a sharp decline in crude oil prices. US President Donald Trump's announcement of upcoming talks with Iran boosted investor sentiment, leading to gains across major sectors like FMCG, metal, and financials. While Asian markets showed mixed trends, domestic equities benefited from foreign fund inflows and strong corporate earnings, supporting a cautiously optimistic outlook.
