Stock Market Trend : 16 April 2025

Dear Trader…

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty jumped more than 2% on account of positive global market cues after US President Trump announced a temporary tariff relief on phones, computers and popular consumer electronics. He also hinted at possible exemptions on tariffs for imported vehicles and auto parts. Market optimism was further driven by a sharp drop in the U.S. Dollar Index, which has fallen to a 3-year low below 100 mark. Nifty future ended higher by 423 points at 23340 with strong buying in several large-cap stocks.

Nifty Auto soared 3.3% as shares of automobile manufacturers, auto component and tyre companies gained significantly after US signalled potential tariff exemption for the automotive sector. EMS stocks surged, buoyed by the exemption of consumer electronics from US tariffs. Defence shares were in momentum, driven by rise in domestic orders and global military spending. The IMD has predicted above-normal rainfall for India this monsoon, with cumulative rainfall estimated at 105% of the long-period average of 87 cm. This is expected to benefit fertilizer, auto (two-wheeler) and rural consumption stocks.
