Markets surge on sharp decline in oil prices, hopes of resolution to US-Iran conflict

What's behind this

On Thursday morning Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty opened with strong gains after crude oil prices fell sharply following the US midterm election results. Reports said the Sensex rose by about 1,400 points in one account and by 1,600 points in another, while the Nifty moved above the 24,300 level. The drop in crude oil to a two‑month low lifted investor optimism across global markets, with sentiment boosted by the US midterm outcomes.
