Investor wealth surged by Rs 1.54 lakh crore on Monday, driven by a strong rally in stock market where the BSE Sensex jumped 500 points supported by positive global cues after a solid US jobs data.

"Positive US jobs data and expectations of a good start to the first quarter earnings season helped the market to rally," Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services, Head of Research, Vinod Nair said.

From the 30-share Sensex pack, 29 scrips ended higher while only Axis Bank lost.
