“Global indices across the US, Asia, and Europe gained 3–4 per cent over Friday and Monday, after the US government excluded computers, and other electronics from reciprocal tariffs. This move is being seen as a significant softening of the US stance toward China, boosting global sentiment.

“Adding to the positive outlook, US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he is considering exemptions on tariffs for imported vehicles and auto parts. Last week, he also declared a 90-day pause on tariffs for all countries except China, signalling a potential window for trade negotiations and easing global trade war concerns,” Vikas Jain, Head of Research, Reliance Securities, said.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,519.03 crore on Friday, according to exchange data.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude went up by 0.09 per cent to USD 64.94 a barrel.

Equity markets were closed on Monday for Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti.

The Sensex jumped 1,310.11 points or 1.77 per cent to settle at 75,157.26 on Friday. The Nifty surged 429.40 points or 1.92 per cent to 22,828.55. (PTI)
