Summary: The Sensex went up 450 points at the start of the day, and Nifty went above 25,200. This was due to weak global cues and falling retail prices.

The Indian stock markets got off to a good start on Tuesday, with the Sensex rising about 450 points and the Nifty crossing 25,200. Favorable price data and an overall positive global sentiment were the causes of this.

India's retail inflation has been at this low level for six years. Residents' confidence in the economy's future was bolstered, and investors' worries about rising expenses were allayed. The reduction in inflation has majorly impacted the upbeat market sentiment in several industries.

Indian shares were also helped by gains in Asian markets and continued interest from institutional investors, both domestic and foreign. Experts noted that steady crude oil prices and a comparatively steady currency contributed to the positive outlook.

Large-cap stocks led the rise, with numerous corporations on the BSE reporting strong intraday gains. Overall, the market reflected rising confidence as macroeconomic indicators strengthened.

With the inflation drop offering some relief, investors are now watching key global trends, oil prices, and institutional flows to gauge how long this momentum might last.
