D-St reverses its 10-day losing run as worries over tariff ease
oversold market after early indications that the US may soften its stance on trade tariffs.
The NSE Nifty gained 1.15%, or 254 points, to finish at 22,337. The BSE Sensex rose 1.01%, or 740 points, to close at 73,730.
The 25% tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico took effect Tuesday along with fresh levies on Chinese imports. In his address to the US Congress, President Donald Trump said that reciprocal tariffs will take effect from April 2 on countries like India, South Korea, the EU, China and others. China and Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on the US, and Mexico promised retaliation as well. In response, Wall Street indices dropped 1-2% Tuesday.
The US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's comment that Trump could scale back some of the tariffs alleviated nervous sentiment in Asia.
«After Trump announced a slew of tariffs on Canada and Mexico, the US Commerce Secretary has suggested that a possible compromise on tariffs is expected which implies that there could be lower tariffs than proposed,» said Pankaj Pandey, head of retail research at ICICI Securities. «A technical bounce was imminent as the markets were extremely oversold, but it is early to say if the anxiety over tariffs is over since the US and China are imposing tariffs on each other, and the fallout from this trade war can have adverse consequences on overall global growth and inflation.»
