Indian Stock Market Reaction: Indian stocks experienced a significant rise due to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between India and Pakistan, with the Nifty 50 increasing by 2.8% and the BSE Sensex 30 by 2.5% as tensions deescalated after recent armed conflicts.
Ongoing Tensions and Concerns: Despite the ceasefire, issues such as the suspended Indus Water Treaty and U.S. negotiations over Kashmir remain contentious, while the Nifty Pharma index faced losses amid concerns over U.S. drug pricing policies.
