Market analysts said the rally was largely driven by optimism over the FY27 budget, as the government and coalition partners reportedly reached broad agreement on key fiscal proposals ahead of its presentation scheduled for June 12.
Investor confidence was further supported by expectations of easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a decline in global oil prices, which improved the outlook for inflation and corporate earnings.
Analysts noted that improved liquidity and renewed buying interest across key sectors also contributed to the upward momentum in the index.
Market participants expect continued volatility in the short term, although sentiment remains broadly positive ahead of the federal budget announcement, which is seen as a key trigger for future market direction.
