Mumbai, June 15: Global stock markets witnessed a strong rally on Monday as investors reacted positively to reports of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, bringing an end to months of geopolitical tensions. The easing of uncertainty also triggered a sharp decline in crude oil prices, boosting sentiment across financial markets.
Major Asian and European indices opened higher, while benchmark stock indices in India recorded significant gains during early trading hours. Market analysts attributed the surge to expectations of improved global trade conditions, reduced energy costs, and greater investor confidence.
According to reports, the agreement is expected to lower risks in key energy-producing regions, resulting in increased stability in international oil supplies. Brent crude prices reportedly declined as traders anticipated a reduced threat of supply disruptions.
"The market is responding to the prospect of geopolitical stability and lower energy costs," said a senior market strategist. "Investors are shifting back toward risk assets, expecting stronger economic activity in the months ahead."
