Share Market: India’s benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty50, opened in green on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. The Sensex (index with top 30 firms) surged 1,679.20 points to open at 76,836.46 points on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Nifty50 (index with top 50 firms) opened 539.80 points higher at 23,368.35 points.
Indian stock markets opened on a strong note on the back of global optimism and hopes of easing trade tensions. This surge came after comments and actions from the US government signalled possible tariff relief. The investors see this as a step towards a broader trade agreement with China.
US customs recently announced temporary tariff exemptions on key consumer and industrial electronics, including semiconductors. On Sunday, the US Commerce Secretary clarified that the relief is temporary. Trump also confirmed in a post that these measures are short-term and added that new semiconductor tariffs could be announced next week.
Global markets reacted positively to these developments. On Monday, Asian, European, and US markets all closed higher. US Big Tech companies saw more than 6 per cent gains in pre-market trading.
On the other hand, Indian investors continued to show confidence in the market. Despite tight liquidity in March, Indian SIP investors pumped in over Rs 25,000 crore into equity mutual funds, providing strong support to the markets.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the last session on April 11, pulling out Rs 2,519 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) remained net buyers, investing Rs 3,759 crore.
In corporate news, several Indian companies are set to report their March quarter results today. These include ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, GM Breweries, MRP Agro, Hathway Bhawani Cabletel and Datacom, and Delta Industrial Resources.
