Indian Stock Market: After a turbulent Monday that left investors shaken, the Indian stock market bounced back dramatically on Tuesday, showing strong signs of recovery despite global trade concerns linked to Trump’s proposed tariffs. The market opened in green territory, with the BSE Sensex surging over 1,200 points and the NSE Nifty climbing more than 350 points within minutes of opening.
The upbeat mood in the market came after global cues turned favorable, calming fears triggered by geopolitical tensions and economic policy uncertainties.
Major Indices Rebound After Monday’s Bloodbath
The 30-share BSE Sensex opened at a strong 74,300-level, registering a jump of 1,200 points from the previous close. Meanwhile, the broader NSE Nifty also kicked off with a 350-point gain, starting the trading session on a positive note at around 22,500. This recovery comes just a day after a historic fall on Monday that saw both indices drop sharply due to panic selling.
On Monday, the Sensex had opened at 71,449 and tumbled to an intraday low of 71,425 before recovering marginally to close at 73,137.90 — a drop of 2,226.79 points or 2.95%. Nifty followed a similar trajectory, sliding nearly 1,000 points to touch 21,743 during the session before closing at 22,161.60, down 742.85 points or 3.24%.
Top Gainers Lead Market Rally
Tuesday’s rally was largely fueled by heavyweight stocks from Tata Group and other market leaders. Among the top performers:
- Titan rose 5.01%, leading the pack with strong investor interest.
- Adani Ports gained 3.64%, showing resilience amid market volatility.
- Tata Motors surged 3.24%, while Tata Steel climbed 3.02%.
- Axis Bank and Bajaj Finserv also jumped around 3% each.
- SBI, IndusInd Bank, and Zomato added to the bullish sentiment.
- Market bellwether Reliance Industries rose 1.20%, contributing to the Sensex’s strength.
Global Markets Set the Tone
The turnaround was anticipated late Monday as Asian markets showed encouraging signs. Japan’s Nikkei led the charge with a massive 7% surge — one of its best single-day performances in years. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index also gained nearly 3%, driven by strong tech stocks and renewed investor optimism.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Gift Nifty futures showed a sharp 400-point spike in early trade, indicating strong pre-market cues for Indian equities.
What’s Fueling the Optimism?
Investors are betting on a short-term correction and viewing Monday’s slump as a buying opportunity. The rebound suggests confidence in the Indian economy’s fundamentals despite global headwinds. Additionally, easing fears over Trump’s tariff threats and better-than-expected performance in Asian markets played a key role in today’s recovery.
While the Tuesday rally has certainly brought relief to Dalal Street, market analysts caution investors to stay alert. With general elections around the corner and global trade uncertainties still looming, volatility may persist in the coming weeks.
However, long-term investors are likely to stay bullish, particularly on sectors like banking, infrastructure, and consumer goods, which continue to show strong growth potential.
