Sensex back above 77k, up 4,000 pts from tariffs low

Indian stock markets experienced a third consecutive day of gains, with the Sensex climbing 0.4% and the Nifty rising 0.5%. Investor confidence was bolstered by positive local factors, including expectations of a strong monsoon and potential interest rate cuts. Bank stocks led the rally, fueled by a drop in retail inflation to a five-year low, overshadowing global trade war concerns.
