The stock's 17 per cent surge marked one of the more notable moves in the insurance space, signalling renewed market confidence in the state-owned insurer.
Trading volumes in the stock spiked six-fold compared with historical averages, underscoring heightened retail and institutional interest. The rally aligned with broader positive sentiment in the financial services sector, where several companies have attracted investor attention in recent sessions.
