In a major boost to investor sentiment, both Indian and global stock markets rallied strongly on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, after the United States announced a temporary pause on tariffs affecting key sectors like electronics and automobiles. This development has significantly lifted market confidence across the world.
Indian Markets Hit Record Highs
The Indian stock market witnessed a sharp surge today, with major indices closing in the green:
- BSE Sensex surged by over 1,580 points, reflecting strong investor buying.
- Nifty 50 crossed the 23,300 mark, posting a gain of more than 2%.
- The India VIX, a measure of market volatility, dropped by 18%, signaling calmer waters ahead for investors.
Sectoral performance: All sectoral indices traded positively, with the Realty Index leading the way with a 4% gain. Midcap and smallcap stocks also performed well, adding nearly 1% each.

Market experts attribute the rally to favorable global cues, including easing trade tensions and stable macroeconomic indicators.
Global Markets Rebound on Tariff Pause
The global stock market followed suit with significant gains, particularly in the United States and Asia:
- Wall Street closed higher for the second day in a row, led by tech giants like Apple, which gained after a 90-day pause in U.S. tariffs.
- Asian indices rose sharply, especially Japan’s Nikkei, after positive signals from Washington regarding reduced trade pressure.
The White House’s decision to temporarily pause tariffs on electronics and auto imports helped cool fears of an escalating trade war, prompting relief rallies in major economies.
