Stock market today: Domestic benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, started the trading session higher on Friday following comments from US President Donald Trump indicating that the Indian Prime Minister was open to discussions about reducing tariffs, which alleviated some concerns regarding reciprocal duties.
In early trading, the Sensex increased by 344.09 points, reaching 76,483.06, while the Nifty 50 rose by 102.3 points to 23,133.70.
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, pointed out that the initial signals from the discussions between Modi and Trump are favourable from the market's viewpoint. The proposed reciprocal tariffs have been postponed, allowing for more negotiations and the possibility of reaching an agreement.
India's readiness to purchase additional oil and gas from the US could help lower the trade deficit with the United States. Although it is unlikely that Trump will withdraw his stance on reciprocal tariffs, India is regarded as a friendly nation, and the camaraderie between the two leaders bodes well for India.
