Indian stock markets rebounded on Monday, snapping a five-day losing streak, with the Sensex and Nifty closing higher. The recovery was largely driven by positive sentiment following remarks from the new US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, indicating renewed engagement on a bilateral trade agreement. Gor also announced India's invitation to join the US-led 'Pax Silica' initiative on critical minerals and AI. While benchmarks gained, broader markets remained under pressure amid geopolitical tensions and foreign fund outflows.
