This 3.39 per cent increase marks a significant rebound from yesterday’s drop of more than 16,000 points.

This upward momentum followed early volatility, with the benchmark slipping 700 points into the red at 9:16am.

However, the index continued to reflect the volatility seen in the previous session, swinging between an intraday low of 151,258.85 points and a high of 158,217.01.

The assassination of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, in airstrikes by the United States and Israel has destabilised the Middle East, triggered a rout in global equity markets, and fuelled a surge in oil and gas prices.

The developments have heightened fears of supply disruptions as Tehran retaliates.

However, according to Topline Securities, investors reassessed the situation and grew confident that geopolitical tensions are unlikely to prolong; “the mood shifted from fear to opportunity”.
