Investor wealth has jumped

Investor wealth has jumped: BSE's total market value is up by over ₹8 lakh crore, now at ₹438 lakh crore.
For anyone watching their portfolio or thinking about investing, this could be a good chance to look at large-cap stocks that recently dipped or mid-small caps that are outperforming.

What is driving the rally?

A mix of things: quick buying after recent drops, Brent crude prices cooling down (which helps with inflation worries), and some behind-the-scenes talks easing U.S.-Iran tensions.
Plus, Indian institutional investors have been buying big while foreign investors sold off.

A look at the top gainers

Some metals stocks rallied. Automobile stocks have also seen solid gains in this rally.
