Why is the stock market rising today? Sensex surges over 1,000 pts, Nifty tops 25,550; 3 key factors behind the rally

A potential change in Federal Reserve leadership and subsequent rate cut expectations further boosted market sentiment. The drop in crude oil prices also contributed to the positive outlook for Indian equities.
