Indian stock markets opened with a bang on April 11, as a surprise move from the White House sent investor sentiment soaring. The Sensex surged 1,400 points to 75,247, while the Nifty 50 rallied 441 points to 22,840 both up nearly 2% in early trade.

Why the buzz?

The US announced a 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs, easing trade restrictions on over 60 countries including India.

This unexpected relief sparked a broad-based rally, especially in export-heavy sectors like steel, shrimp, and textiles, which were bracing for impact under the previous tariff order issued on April 2.

With the new executive order in effect until July 9, investors are hopeful this could lead to more stable trade ties and boost export earnings.

Despite weak global cues and fears of a slowdown, Indian markets stood tall signaling strong domestic confidence.

Experts say the rally reflects both relief and optimism, with the hope that cooler trade heads will prevail.
