The Indian stock market witnessed a massive rally today, with the Sensex closing <b>2,000 points higher</b>. This significant market optimism was largely driven by a sharp decline in global crude oil prices, which historically eases inflationary pressures on the Indian economy. According to reports, Brent crude prices fell by <b>8.7%</b> to $94.62 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) dropped 8.3% to $88.12 per barrel. Market analysts suggest that the positive sentiment was further bolstered by political developments in the United States, specifically following the Democratic Party's performance in Congress. Investors reacted favorably to the cooling energy costs, leading to a broad-based recovery across major sectoral indices in the domestic share market.
