The benchmark index closed at 24,500 points, up 1.8% from the previous session, fueled by strong earnings reports from major tech firms and rising commodity prices. Shares of TechCo Inc. (TCH) surged 7.2%, while MaterialsCorp Ltd. (MAT) gained 5.9%. Analysts attributed the rally to improved investor sentiment amid stable global economic conditions.
