The Indian stock market witnessed a remarkable surge today, April 15, 2025, with both the Sensex and the Nifty 50 reaching new heights. This impressive performance can be attributed to a combination of factors, primarily positive global cues stemming from the United States.
Sensex: The Bombay Stock Exchange’s benchmark index, the Sensex, soared by over 1,650 points, closing at 76,726.08. This represents a significant single-day gain.
Nifty 50: The National Stock Exchange’s flagship index, the Nifty 50, also saw a substantial rise, closing at a record high of 23,350. This marks a new milestone for the index.
Driving Factor: US Tariff Exemptions: The primary catalyst for this bullish sentiment was the announcement by U.S. President Trump regarding additional tariff exemptions and a 90-day delay in implementing certain levies.
Global Market Reaction: The positive news from the U.S. led to a rally in Asian markets and overnight gains in the U.S. stock market, particularly in technology stocks.
Auto Sector: Auto stocks witnessed significant gains, fueled by the possibility of tariff relief on imported vehicles and auto parts. Tata Motors surged by 4.8, Samvardhana Motherson (+7.3%) and Sona BLW Precision Forgings (+7.6%) also saw substantial increases.
Other Notable Gainers: Dixon Technologies (+2.6%) and Kaynes Technology (+5.5%), both involved in electronics manufacturing services, also performed well, likely benefiting from the easing of tariff concerns on electronics
