President Donald Trump said Monday negotiations with Iran were 'proceeding nicely,' though he warned that the U.S. could resume attacks if the talks failed.

Robust buying in banking and financial stocks propelled the Nifty decisively above the 24,000 mark, while broad-based momentum lifted all sectoral indices on the BSE into positive territory.
