Mumbai, April 15 (NationPress) The Indian stock markets staged a remarkable recovery on Tuesday, with a single-day surge adding an incredible ₹10.9 lakh crore to investors’ portfolios — completely reversing the losses triggered by the US tariff shock on April 2.
In an impressive rally, the Sensex soared over 1,570 points while the Nifty crossed 22,300 — marking one of the most significant gains in recent months.
The rebound was broad-based and fueled by robust investor sentiment, supported by favorable global cues and domestic optimism.
The primary catalyst for the rally was a recent announcement regarding US trade policy, with Washington revealing a 90-day postponement of tariffs for most countries, excluding China.
This announcement alleviated investor concerns and rekindled hopes for India’s role in global supply chains. Financial stocks spearheaded the advance, climbing over 2 percent due to their substantial presence in the indices.
Midcap and smallcap indices also experienced a strong uptick, each rising by approximately 3 percent following recent underperformance.
Analysts noted that domestic institutional investors adopted a more aggressive buying stance on Tuesday, further propelling the upward trend.
Asian markets were also buoyant, supported by a weaker US dollar and stable bond yields, providing an extra boost to Indian markets as they resumed trading after an extended weekend.
In addition to global indicators, India’s solid macroeconomic fundamentals continue to draw investor interest.
“With strong domestic demand and minimal direct exposure to US-China tensions, India is increasingly perceived as a stable investment amid global uncertainties,” remarked market experts.
“While data on foreign institutional investor flows is still pending, preliminary signs indicate robust buying activity,” they added.
“Markets are adjusting to the new reality of daily Trump developments,” stated Vikas Gupta, CEO and Chief Investment Strategist at OmniScience Capital.
He noted that sometimes when tariffs seem temporarily lifted, markets react positively, while unexpected events can lead to negative reactions.
