Indian stock markets have kicked off the week on an optimistic note, propelled by strong performances in the banking and energy sectors. Major indices such as the NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex have risen for the sixth consecutive session, signalling a balanced and robust market environment.

On Thursday, the Canadian stock index experienced a minor decline, reflecting the current economic uncertainty. The primary index, S&P/TSX Composite, closed trading 8.97 points lower—down by 0.04%—at 25,060.24 after recording its strongest performance in seven months on Wednesday. Market dynamics were complex, as losses in the tech sector were offset by gains in energy company shares.
