The Indian stock market snapped a five-session losing streak, with Sensex and Nifty ending in the deep green on Monday as easing tensions between Iran and the US, falling oil prices and other factors boosted market sentiment.
On Monday, Sensex ended at 776 points to 76,836 while Nifty 50 gained over 228 points to 23,996. The sharp gains added nearly Rs 5.10 lakh crore to the total market capitalisation of all companies listed on BSE, pushing it up to Rs 481 lakh crore.
