Airline stocks Indigo, SpiceJet surge 10% on India-Pakistan ceasefire. Should you buy, sell or hold?
Shares of InterGlobe Aviation (Indigo) and Spicejet surged by 10% during Monday's trading session after India and Pakistan announced on Saturday that they had reached an agreement to halt all military actions and firings on land, air, and sea. The reduction in border tensions between India and Pakistan has reportedly raised expectations for the normalization of airline operations. This development followed India's initiation of 'Operation Sindoor' on May 7, aimed at targeting terror infrastructure located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam. Investor confidence received an extra boost when the government permitted operations at 32 airports, including those in border regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, which had been temporarily closed due to the military conflict with Pakistan. The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) was issued just two days after both nations agreed to cease military activities. The stock market indices also saw a significant rebound on Monday, with the Sensex increasing by 2,500 points and the Nifty 50 exceeding the 24,700 mark, as the easing of geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, alongside encouraging US-China trade discussions, improved investor sentiment. This represents the largest one-day gain in the past 11 months. Indigo share price today opened at ₹ 5,434.70 apiece on the BSE, the stock touched an intraday high of ₹ 5,599 apiece, and an intraday low of ₹ 5,413.60 per share. Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments said that Indigo share price opened with a bullish gap-up, briefly testing the breakout zone near ₹ 5,600. 'For fresh upward momentum, it must sustain above this key level—doing so could trigger a move toward the ₹ 6,000 mark. Traders should watch for strong follow-through buying above ₹ 5,600 to confirm the breakout. On the downside, ₹ 5,375 remains a crucial support level; any dip toward it may attract buying interest. Momentum traders should stay alert for volume spikes near these zones,' advised Jain.

What has happened in India and Pakistan as they fight over Kashmir killings
India launched strikes on Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir on Wednesday, an assault Pakistan has called a "blatant act of war" as tensions spiral after a deadly attack on tourists in Indian Kashmir. India said its Operation Sindoor struck nine Pakistani sites on Wednesday that provided "terrorist infrastructure" and where attacks against it were orchestrated. Sindoor is the red vermilion powder worn by married Hindu women, an apparent reference to the widows created by the April 22 attack that killed 26 men, most of them Hindu. Islamabad said six Pakistani locations were targeted, and 24 impacts were felt from different weapons. A Pakistan military spokesperson told Reuters his country shot down five Indian aircraft while they were in Indian airspace. India has not confirmed the claim. Four local government sources in Indian Kashmir told Reuters three fighter jets had crashed in separate areas of the Himalayan region during the night. All three pilots had been hospitalised, the sources said. The two armies exchanged intense shelling and firing at different points across their de-facto border in Kashmir. Pakistan said eight people were killed, 35 injured and two were missing after the attack. India said seven civilians were killed and 35 injured in cross-border shelling by Pakistani troops in Kashmir. India shut several airports and as a result, and Indigo and Spicejet airlines cancelled flights. Air India diverted two of its international flights. Qatar Airways temporarily suspended flights to Pakistan. Pakistan International Airlines said airborne flights had been diverted to Karachi, while those on ground have been put on hold. Pakistan's Punjab province declared a state of emergency, with hospitals and security forces on high alert. Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir, lost power for a while after the explosions. Schools in much of India's Jammu and Kashmir were shut on Wednesday.
