Summary: Indian markets gained momentum after the US announced a pause in tariffs on India, boosting investor confidence.

The United States' decision to halt further tariffs on India for ninety days caused Indian stock markets to surge sharply on April 11, 2025. Strong investor excitement following this announcement caused benchmark indices to rise significantly.

The BSE Sensex surged by 1,400 points (1.90%) to close at 75,247, while the NSE Nifty50 gained 441 points (1.97%) to end at 22,840. The relief on tariffs came after President Donald Trump imposed broad-based duties on exports from nearly 60 countries earlier this month, targeting products such as Indian shrimp, basmati rice, aluminum, and steel.

Investor sentiment improved after the interim suspension was extended to July 9. All BSE-listed businesses now have a combined market value of ₹400.79 lakh crore, up ₹6.97 lakh crore.

Despite the overall market rally, some individual stocks reacted differently. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), for instance, saw a slight dip after releasing its Q4FY25 earnings. But thanks to fresh optimism about improved trade ties and fewer global challenges, the majority of sectors concluded the day on a positive note.

The 90-day relief, according to analysts, may help stabilize the dynamics of global trade while providing much-needed breathing room for Indian exporters. Investors are now keeping an eye on how both nations handle these trade negotiations.

The development marks a significant turn in market sentiment after weeks of volatility driven by geopolitical and economic concerns.
