Global crisis: Ceasefire Sparks Market Rally, Debate Over Who Won the War

A major development following the ceasefire between Donald Trump and Iran has triggered a strong positive reaction in financial markets. India’s BSE Sensex surged by 2600 points in pre-open trade, reflecting investor optimism after weeks of uncertainty due to the 40-day conflict. The rally is largely driven by easing geopolitical tensions and a drop in crude oil prices, which had earlier pressured global markets. Experts believe the ceasefire has restored short-term confidence, though long-term stability remains uncertain. Strategically, opinions remain divided. Some analysts view the ceasefire as a major diplomatic win for Iran, as key conditions like negotiations and control over the Strait of Hormuz were acknowledged. Others argue the US achieved its objectives and avoided prolonged conflict. However, a common view is that no clear winner emerged. While political and strategic gains are debated, the biggest loss has been for civilians and global economic stability.
