Today's trigger — Trump said US could exit Iran war in 2–3 weeks. Iran's President also signalled openness to peace talks. This sharply eased global risk sentiment — crude dipped, Asian markets surged (Japan Nikkei +4.35%, Korea Kospi +7.2%), and Dalal Street opened gap-up and held all gains. Defence stocks were the star performers thanks to a separate catalyst: the DAC cleared Rs 2.38 lakh crore in defence acquisitions.
