Sensex Surges Over 1100 Points, Nifty At 22780 - Why Is The Stock Market Rising Today?
Indian equity markets surged as the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex logged gains of over 1,100 points and 385 points respectively in early trade. This bullish rally was fueled by the announcement from US President Donald Trump pausing the 26 per cent reciprocal tariffs on Indian exports for 90 days, a move welcomed by global investors. The BSE Small-cap and Mid-cap indices also soared by over 2 per cent and 1.85 per cent respectively, reflecting widespread buying across Dalal Street.
The rally came just after a turbulent week that saw heavy losses across global markets due to Trump’s tariff escalation. However, the unexpected relief—excluding China from the exemption—triggered a fresh wave of optimism, particularly for emerging markets like India.
This Dalal Street rally is largely driven by Trump’s unexpected pause on tariffs. The Indian government’s proactive monetary policy stance, with the RBI cutting the repo rate by 25 basis points and projecting inflation at 4 per cent for FY26, added further momentum.
According to analysts, five major factors contributed to Friday’s stock market rally:
1. Trump's Tariff Pause: The 90-day suspension of the 26 per cent import tariff on India boosted investor confidence.
2. RBI’s Rate Cut: The central bank reduced the repo rate to 6 per cent, maintaining an accommodative stance and ensuring market liquidity.
3. ‘Sell China, Buy India’ FII Sentiment: Trump’s continued hardline on China is pushing global investors to realign exposure towards India.
4. Short Covering: A gap-up opening prompted bears to cover short positions rapidly, contributing to sharp index gains.
5. Buzz Around Q4 Earnings: Investors are anticipating robust Q4 results, especially from the banking and financial sectors, driven by stable inflation and industrial demand.
