On Tuesday, Indian stock markets rebounded after a four-day slump, lifted mainly by a rally in auto stocks. The BSE Sensex rose 317.45 points to close at 82,570.91, while the NSE Nifty50 gained 113.50 points, finishing at 25,195.80. This upturn came amid renewed investor optimism and favorable economic signals.
According to Vinod Nair of Geojit Financial Services, sentiment improved due to two key developments:
-
Hopes of an interim trade deal with the US, which could ease tariff pressures.
-
Domestic inflation hitting multi-year lows, raising expectations of a possible RBI rate cut, potentially stimulating further growth.
