Benchmark index Sensex jumped over 1,300 points to 82,427.19 in early trade on Wednesday, while the Nifty surged to 25,399.10. The rally came as oil prices dipped after US President Donald Trump said the war with Iran was "effectively over". Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) also turned net buyers of Indian equities in November, further boosting market sentiment.
