Stock market LIVE updates: Sensex jumps over 2000 pts, Nifty 50 above 26,000.
Stock market LIVE updates: Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 are set for a strong opening on Tuesday, tracking a sharp surge in GIFT Nifty after US President Donald Trump announced that India and the United States have agreed on a trade deal following his conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The announcement has boosted global risk sentiment, with Asian markets rallying and US stocks reportedly closing higher overnight, led by gains in technology shares.
According to stock market experts, cited by Bloomberg, equities tend to price in economic benefits ahead of time, suggesting a strong start to Tuesday’s session. Analysts expect a gap-up opening, with the Nifty 50 likely to test and potentially break above the 25,500 mark in the near term.
They also advise investors to keep an eye on export-oriented sectors that stand to benefit directly from lower tariffs, including pharma, IT, auto, textiles, and gems and jewellery.
India-US trade deal
US President Donald Trump on Monday announced the India-US trade agreement, waiving the reciprocal 25% tariffs imposed on India for purchasing crude oil from Russia and cutting tariffs on Indian goods from 25% to 18%. With the additional duties removed, Trump’s tariffs on India are set to fall sharply from 50% to 18% once the deal is implemented. He also announced that India will cut its tariffs and non-tariff barriers on US goods to zero.
The trade agreement has been seen as a major positive for Indian equities, particularly export-oriented sectors, as it signals improved trade relations between the two countries and reduced cost pressures for businesses.
GIFT Nifty signals a big gap-up start
GIFT Nifty was trading around the 25,939 level early Tuesday, reflecting a premium of nearly 797 points over the previous close of Nifty futures.
This sharp premium suggests a gap-up opening for domestic benchmark indices, with investors closely watching whether the Sensex and Nifty can scale fresh record highs during the session.
Indian markets end sharply higher on Monday
Indian benchmark indices had already logged strong gains on Monday, recovering part of the losses from the earlier session.
The Sensex jumped 943.52 points, or 1.17%, to close at 81,666.46, while the Nifty 50 rose 262.95 points, or 1.06%, to settle at 25,088.40.
Some concerns remain
Despite the upbeat mood, not all challenges have disappeared. According to a report by Bloomberg, corporate earnings this season have been mixed, and investors are awaiting clarity on India’s reported commitment to purchase $500 billion worth of goods from the US under the deal.

Stock Market LIVE: US trade deal primes Indian stocks for foreign buying rush
Stock Market LIVE: Indian equities are primed to ease their run of underperformance after a long-awaited trade agreement with the US, which removes a key overhang on financial assets that had triggered record foreign outflows.
US President Donald Trump agreed to cut tariffs on Indian goods to 18% from 25% and eliminate an additional 25% duty linked to the purchases of Russian crude oil. Fund managers see the deal as a potential catalyst for global investors to return to Indian equities after the market’s worst January since 2016, while also supporting a rupee that has hit record lows.
The benchmark NSE Nifty 50 Index rallied as much as 5% on Tuesday, before paring gains to 2.8%. The rupee gained as much as 1.2% against the dollar, the biggest advance in more than three years.
“This is a good reset to India-US trade that may shift foreign investor sentiment toward India to positive,” said Arvind Chari, chief investment strategist at Q India UK. “India’s underperformance versus emerging markets could reverse.”
