In April, the Nifty Smallcap 100 index experienced a remarkable rally, gaining 18.4%, its best monthly performance since May 2014 when it rose 22.4%. This surge is attributed to a temporary ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, which has reignited investor interest in equities. In contrast, the benchmark Nifty 50 index only increased by 7.5% during the same period. The smallcap index's strong performance has allowed it to recover from the losses incurred during the selloff in March, showcasing a shift in market sentiment towards riskier assets as geopolitical tensions ease.
