Ceasefire deal fuels stock market optimism in India and Pakistan
Stocks in Pakistan and India surged on Monday following a ceasefire agreement between the two nuclear-armed neighbors on Saturday. Pakistan’s KSE-30 Index jumped by 9.2%, while India’s Nifty 500 Index soared as much as 3%.
On Friday, investors got nervous as the Nifty dropped more than 1%, its steepest fall in over a month. The Indian rupee was also one of Asia’s worst performers last week.
India’s bond yields surged as risk premiums widened, although debt purchases by the Reserve Bank of India helped mitigate the drop. Pakistan’s KSE-30 Index slid 9% since the April 22 attack in Kashmir, which prompted India to retaliate.
Pakistan and Indian stocks soar following ceasefire agreement
Pakistan’s stock benchmark, the KSE-30 Index, soared more than 9.2%, the most since 2008, triggering a one-hour halt in trading. The NSE Nifty 50 Index also surged as much as 3% in Mumbai.
Stocks in both countries jumped after a ceasefire deal between the two nuclear-armed nations on Saturday.
Ali Raza, head of international trading at BMA Capital Management Ltd., argued that investor focus is expected to return to accelerating economic reforms following the easing of war tensions. 
“Given how quickly things were escalating last week, the developments over the weekend are a move in the positive direction. The focus could return to the Indian growth story.”
-Vivek Dhawan, Fund Manager at Candriam.
Dhawan also noted that India’s positive economic signals suggest that foreign investors, who had been on a near 3-week buying streak until Friday, may resume inflows. He also sees increased inflows from prospects of an early U.S. trade deal, ample liquidity, and anticipated interest rate cuts.
The fund manager also argued that traders in Pakistan expect the country’s economic reforms to regain focus as border tensions had exceeded a surprise interest-rate cut by the State Bank of Pakistan and prospects for additional IMF funding. The IMF approved $1 billion on Friday in immediate disbursement and a new $1.4 billion plan for climate resilience.
Raza from BMA Capital Management also noted that the SBP’s recent cut, previously overshadowed, and dual loan disbursement by the IMF, will come back into play after easing war tensions.
The Indian rupee surged by 0.9% versus the dollar in the offshore market. The country’s bonds and currency markets are closed on Monday for a public holiday. The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.’s volatility gauge also dropped to 17.2, its lowest since April 30. The top five traded Nifty 50 options were all bullish, with May 24,600-rupee calls expiring Thursday clocking the highest volume.
The threat of renewed war tensions still looms, as India has yet to lift its abeyance on the Indus Water Treaty, a move that could harm a large part of Pakistan’s farm output. It was also alleged that a top Indian diplomat said that Pakistan violated the truce just hours after it was declared, a claim Pakistan has denied. 
Tejas Shah, head of derivatives trading at Equirus Securities, believes there is still some uncertainty around the pause in fighting. He also argued that language from both sides will be important to monitor. Shar acknowledged that some investors may use the relief rally to reduce positions.
India and Pakistan commit to a ceasefire agreement
The Indian Army said on Monday that the Line of Control (LoC) and border area remained peaceful in the wake of the ceasefire agreement. The army noted that Sunday night remained peaceful across Jammu, Kashmir, and other areas along the international border, marking the first calm night recently.
Although explosions rocked several parts of Kashmir hours after the truce was announced on Saturday, both countries have reiterated their commitment to the agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged that a night of talks mediated by Washington helped secure the deal after the White House received alarming intelligence on the conflict, according to U.S. sources. The President mentioned he was proud of the country’s role in ending the fighting, although India has downplayed U.S. involvement in the talks.

Despite agreeing to a $1.4 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in December 2024, which included conditions to limit public sector involvement in Bitcoin-related activities, El Salvador has continued to increase its Bitcoin holdings. Since March 1, 2025, the country has acquired over 13 BTC, bringing its total reserves to more than 6,105 BTC, valued at over $527 million at current prices.

President Nayib Bukele remains steadfast in his commitment to Bitcoin, stating that the accumulation strategy will persist despite international pressures. He emphasized that the country's daily Bitcoin purchases, typically one BTC per day, will continue unabated.

The IMF agreement required El Salvador to make Bitcoin acceptance voluntary for private businesses and to reduce public sector engagement in Bitcoin-related activities. However, the government's continued acquisitions suggest a nuanced approach to these conditions. The IMF has acknowledged that the recent increase in Bitcoin holdings aligns with the agreed program conditionality, indicating a level of flexibility in the interpretation of the agreement.

El Salvador's unwavering stance on Bitcoin has attracted significant attention from the global crypto community. Major crypto firms, including Bitfinex Derivatives and Tether, have announced plans to relocate their operations to El Salvador, bolstering the country's position as a burgeoning hub for digital assets.

As Bitcoin continues to gain international legitimacy, El Salvador's persistent accumulation strategy underscores its commitment to integrating the cryptocurrency into its economic framework, potentially setting a precedent for other nations considering similar paths.

Według CoinTelegraph, El Salvador musi zaprzestać używania funduszy publicznych na zakup Bitcoina zgodnie z umową z Międzynarodowym Funduszem Walutowym (IMF), mimo to nadal zwiększa swoje zasoby Bitcoina (BTC). Z danych Biura Bitcoina w El Salvadorze wynika, że w zeszłym tygodniu kraj ten zabezpieczył dodatkowe 7 Bitcoinów, zwiększając całkowitą ilość posiadanych Bitcoinów do 6,173, co ma wartość ponad 637 milionów dolarów. Ta strategia zakupu Bitcoinów trwa już od kilku miesięcy, pomimo zakończenia umowy z IMF, co pokazuje, że El Salvador jest zdeterminowany w swoim planie akumulacji Bitcoinów.

Według danych Cointelegraph, Salwador nadal zwiększa swoje rezerwy bitcoinów (BTC), pomimo umowy z Międzynarodowym Funduszem Walutowym (MFW), która wymaga od kraju zaprzestania używania funduszy publicznych do zakupu bitcoinów. Najnowsze dane z biura bitcoinów w Salwadorze pokazują, że kraj nabył jeszcze siedem BTC w ciągu ostatniego tygodnia, zwiększając swoje całkowite zapasy do 6173 BTC o wartości ponad 637 milionów dolarów. Ta strategia zakupu trwa od kilku miesięcy po zawarciu umowy z MFW, co świadczy o zobowiązaniu Salwadoru do swojego planu gromadzenia bitcoinów.

Theo Cointelegraph, El Salvador vẫn tiếp tục mở rộng dự trữ Bitcoin (BTC) của mình, bất chấp thỏa thuận với Quỹ Tiền tệ Quốc tế (IMF) yêu cầu quốc gia này ngừng sử dụng tiền công để mua Bitcoin. Dữ liệu gần đây từ Văn phòng Bitcoin El Salvador cho thấy quốc gia này đã mua thêm bảy BTC trong tuần qua, nâng tổng số BTC nắm giữ lên 6.173 BTC, trị giá hơn 637 triệu đô la.

Pomimo nacisków ze strony Międzynarodowego Funduszu Walutowego (#IMF ), aby ograniczyć obecność Bitcoinów w gospodarce, Salwador właśnie ogłosił dodanie 11 kolejnych Bitcoinów do swojego Funduszu Rezerwy Strategicznej.

11 nowych Bitcoinów – odważne ruchy

20 stycznia Krajowe Biuro Bitcoin#ElSalvador ogłosiło na Twitterze zakup 11 dodatkowych Bitcoinów (o wartości ponad 1 mln USD). Posunięcie to następuje niedługo po tym, jak rząd zobowiązał się wobec MFW do ograniczenia adopcji Bitcoina w zamian za pożyczkę w wysokości 1,4 miliarda dolarów.

Salwador dodatkowo zwiększył swoje rezerwy Bitcoin, nabywając 12 dodatkowych BTC, co podniosło całkowite posiadanie do 6,044 BTC. Ten ruch następuje pomimo umowy pożyczkowej na 1,4 miliarda dolarów z Międzynarodowym Funduszem Walutowym (IMF), która zawiera warunki dotyczące zmniejszenia roli Bitcoina w systemie finansowym kraju.
Administracja prezydenta Nayiba Bukele pozostała nieugięta w swoim zobowiązaniu do Bitcoina, mimo że przyjęcie kryptowaluty w sektorze prywatnym pozostaje w dużej mierze dobrowolne. Aktualne rezerwy Bitcoina w kraju są szacowane na ponad 617 milionów dolarów, co stanowi znaczący zysk w wysokości 179 milionów dolarów od czasu przyjęcia Bitcoina jako prawnego środka płatniczego w 2021 roku.
