Summary: The BSE Sensex reached 80,000 and the Nifty50 approached 24,350 on global cues and lessening U.S.-China trade tensions.

The Indian stock markets on Wednesday saw strong advances. The Nifty50 increased by about 159 points to reach about 24,326 while the BSE Sensex increased by more than 500 points to surpass 80,000.

Positive global market trends and hope for a possible reduction in trade tensions between the US and China were factors in this upward rise.

Market analysts attribute the rally to investor confidence bolstered by indications of de-escalation in U.S.-China trade relations and sustained foreign institutional investments. Additionally, supportive monetary policies from central banks have contributed to the positive market sentiment.

As the trading session progresses, market participants will closely monitor global developments and corporate earnings reports for further direction.
