Despite the shock of a 50% tariff hike on Indian goods by US President Donald Trump, the Indian stock market showed impressive resilience. After a shaky start, the markets bounced back strongly.
The BSE Sensex, which had fallen below 80,000 during the day, managed to recover 925 points from its low and closed at 80,623, up slightly by 0.1%. Similarly, the NSE Nifty ended higher at 24,596.
Though many analysts feared a steep fall due to the tariff news, the market showed otherwise. Trading continued almost as usual, and investors seemed largely unbothered by Trump’s announcement.
The quick recovery and stable close indicate that not many are taking these tariff threats seriously anymore. Instead, it reflects growing confidence in India's strong and stable economy.
The positive performance across sectors and the market’s calm reaction underline the robustness of India’s financial system, proving it can withstand external shocks without panic.
Out of the 30 stocks in the Sensex, 18 closed in the green. Top performers included Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, Axis Bank and HDFC Bank. This shows the strength and maturity of India’s stock market.
