Raymond led the recovery with a 10% rally, while other companies like Pearl Global Industries, Gokaldas Exports, Arvind, and Vardhman Textiles also saw gains, according to The Economic Times. The rebound follows the signing of a Russia sanctions bill by US President Donald Trump, which had initially caused a selloff in the sector.
