Indian equity markets end a volatile week higher, with the market capitalization of eight of the top 10 most valued firms increasing by about ₹1.90 lakh crore. Multiple outlets report that ICICI Bank accounts for the largest gain among these firms, with its market valuation rising by roughly ₹56,223 crore. The rebound is linked to an improvement in global sentiment after a period of uncertainty. Investors’ expectations also improve on optimism that a potential US–Iran peace deal could ease geopolitical tensions, which is seen as supportive for stability in energy markets. Alongside the geopolitical outlook, market participants cite policy and monetary factors, including measures by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), as part of the broader support for sentiment. Overall, the reports characterize the move as a broad-based uplift among leading companies rather than a single-stock event, with gains concentrated across major large-cap firms and accompanied by a stronger closing tone after earlier volatility.
