Share markets in India rose sharply today amid strength in global peers as optimism for a US-China trade deal and hopes of fresh policy stimulus from the Federal Reserve buoyed investor sentiment.
US indices closed at fresh all-time highs with upbeat earnings surprises and a potential US-China trade deal in November.
On Monday, President Donald Trump said US was ahead of schedule to sign a significant part of the trade deal with China.
This added to Friday's optimism when Washington said it was "close to finalizing" some parts of a trade agreement with China. Beijing confirmed on Saturday that "technical consultations" on some parts of the agreement were basically completed.
