Sensex helps investors earn ₹6.4 lakh crore in 1 hour

Sensex helped investors earn nearly ₹6.4 lakh crore in one hour as it jumped nearly 1,000 points in early trade on Monday. BJP leading in West Bengal, Assam and Puducherry elections likely signalled border stability, which would fuel business and industrial activities. Iran's 14-point proposal to US and a relative stability in crude oil prices likely also fuelled Sensex's rise.
