India market rallies on oil drop
India’s markets outperformed: Nifty50 closed above 23,300 and the BSE Sensex jumped over 1,200 points as oil slipped below $100/bbl, easing a key input cost risk for the economy. That drop in energy costs provided tangible relief to local equities. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com)
Sensex closed at 75,273.45, up 1,205.00 points, while the Nifty50 settled at 23,306.45, a gain of 394.05 points on March 25, 2026.

(theweek.in multibagg.ai ) Brent crude dropped to about $98.28 a barrel and WTI to roughly $87.68 after reports of a US 15‑point proposal and renewed ceasefire hopes in the Iran conflict, a key trigger cited by traders for the equities lift.
