Historic Stock Market Surge: Trump’s Tariff Cut Sparks Sensex Jump of 2500 Points, Investors Hit the Jackpot

Mumbai, February 3, 2026: US President Donald Trump’s announcement reducing tariffs on Indian goods to 18% has triggered a wave of euphoria in India’s share market today. Markets opened with a massive rally on Tuesday morning, as the Sensex surged nearly 3%—over 2500 points—while the Nifty climbed more than 3%. Early trading saw the Sensex hit 85,314.35, up 4.47%. Experts say investors had long awaited this trade deal, and its finalization has completely flipped market sentiment from negative to positive.

The rally impacted all 30 Sensex top companies, with every stock trading in the green. Heavy buying was seen in major firms like Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, and Eternal. Beyond stocks, the Indian rupee strengthened 1.2% against the dollar to 90.42. This positive vibe raises hopes that foreign institutional investors (FIIs)—who had been consistently selling off—may return with big investments.

Monday had already shown gains, with the Sensex closing up 943 points, but today’s surge shattered all records. Buying is rampant across oil & gas, banking, and auto sectors. Analysts predict that if this momentum holds, the Nifty-50 could soon cross 25,500. Trump’s decision to scrap the 25% reciprocal tariffs has restored investor confidence, setting the stage for new highs in the coming days.
