The BSE Sensex surged 1,110.70 points or 1.47 per cent to 76,638.65. Nifty climbed 330.40 points or 1.40 per cent. "With the dawn of peace in West Asia, hopefully, and the consequent sharp correction in Brent crude to below $84 in early trade, the prospects for the Indian economy and stock market have turned for the better. The GDP growth rate and CPI inflation projections for FY27 can be revised in this changed scenario to 6.9 per cent and 4.6 per cent respectively. This will have positive implications for the stock market," said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments.

"US and Iran finally agreed to a peace deal which will end all hostilities including in Lebanon as well as reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping traffic.

Aakash Shah, Technical Research Analyst at Choice Equity Broking said Nifty has confirmed a consolidation breakout after several sessions of range-bound movement.

In a post Trump said: "This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace. With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
