India's Nifty 50 surged 5% following President Trump's announcement of a US-India trade agreement, cutting reciprocal tariffs to 18% and boosting US exports to India. The deal includes India shifting some oil imports from Russia to the US and Venezuela, marking a potential growth stimulus in 2026 according to Edelweiss Asset Management. Precious metals also rallied, with spot gold up 4.8% and silver gaining 7.3%, though some see silver as a speculative 'meme trade.' US indexes closed higher Monday, and Australia's central bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.85%.
