Indian equity markets rose for a third consecutive session on Tuesday, with the BSE Sensex (India's benchmark 30-share index) gaining 753 points, or nearly 1%, to close at 79,273, while the broader NSE Nifty ended above 24,550. The rally was driven by falling crude oil prices and optimism over potential progress in peace negotiations between Iran and the United States. Lower oil prices are particularly significant for India, one of the world's largest crude importers, as they ease inflationary pressure and improve the country's trade balance.
