Indian Markets Soar as Trump’s Tariff Exemption Boosts Sentiment
Summary:
Indian markets witnessed a surge today, led by strong momentum in banking, automotive, and realty stocks. Trump’s hint at pausing auto tariffs boosted investor sentiment, leading to a significant gain in the Sensex and Nifty indices.
The Indian stock market rallied sharply today, erasing early losses sparked by Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on certain imports. The Sensex jumped 2.4% to 38,535.44 points, while the Nifty rose 2.3% to 11,528.45 points.
The market’s optimism was fueled by a hint from US President Donald Trump that the auto tariffs might be paused. This reassurance led to a significant relief rally, with banking, automotive, and realty stocks leading the charge. The Nifty Bank index surged 3.1%, while the Auto index jumped 4.1%.
What Drives the Market?

"The rally is a testament to the resilience of Indian markets. Investors are looking beyond the short-term noise and focusing on the long-term potential of the economy," said Gautam Duggad, a Delhi-based market expert.
