Indian stock markets opened on a positive note on Tuesday, with Sensex rising more than 800 points and Nifty jumping above the 24,200 mark as US President Donald Trump’s comments on Iran war, fall in oil prices, and other factors boosted market sentiment after incessant selloff. Sensex opened around 810 points higher at 78,375.73, while the Nifty 50 index gained nearly 253 points to open at 24,230.80. The rise in the stock markets added more than Rs 4.71 lakh crore to the total market capitalisation of all companies listed on BSE, pulling it up to Rs 445.51 lakh crore on Tuesday morning.
