Today was one of those days where the market just breathed out after days of pressure.

After the recent nervousness, Indian markets came back strongly. The Nifty 50 closed above 23,300 and the Sensex jumped more than 1,500 points, showing clear buying interest across the board.

What really shifted the mood was global comfort. Cooling oil prices and easing geopolitical tensions gave investors confidence to step back in.
