✅ Top 5 Reasons Why Indian Markets Are Rising Today

1. Easing Trade War Fears
   US President Donald Trump hinted at several countries, including Vietnam, showing willingness to negotiate on tariffs. This has cooled global trade tensions and sparked optimism for peaceful resolution over retaliatory tariffs.
2. Strong Global Market Sentiment
   Asian and global indices bounced back today. Japan’s Nikkei surged over 5%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose by 1.5%, and other Asian bourses like South Korea and China also traded in the green—fueling bullish sentiment across global markets.
3. Short Covering After Black Monday
   Following Monday’s steep fall, many traders held short positions. The sharp uptrend triggered short covering, accelerating the buying momentum on Dalal Street.
4. RBI Rate Cut Hopes
   The RBI’s ongoing policy meeting has triggered market speculation of a possible 25 bps rate cut to address liquidity challenges and inflation risks triggered by the tariff war. Investors are betting big on a dovish policy stance.
5. Strong Q4 FY25 Results Expected
   Positive Q4 updates from banks and expectations of robust financial results from Indian corporates have improved investor confidence. Many banking majors are gearing up for fundraising—signaling continued business momentum.
