Indian equity markets reached a two-month peak on Wednesday, driven by strong performance in heavyweight mining and energy sectors. Sustained demand for commodities pushed major miners, including BHP and Rio Tinto, higher, while gold producers reached record closing levels. Energy stocks saw significant gains tracking global price trends. However, the broader market advance was tempered by a sharp decline in major banking institutions, which offset some of the momentum in the resource sectors. Regional markets mirrored the positive sentiment, with New Zealand’s benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index concluding the session in positive territory.
