The BSE Sensex climbed 208 points, or 0.25%, ending at 84,274 on Tuesday. The Nifty 50 also gained 68 points, finishing at 25,935, up 0.26%. Eternal topped the Sensex with a rise over 5%. Tata Steel followed with a 2.82% gain. M&M and Tech Mahindra rose more than 1.5%. However, HCL Tech, Bajaj Finance, Bharti Airtel, and Adani Ports fell by up to 2%. Expert Vinod Nair from Geojit Investments said, "Today’s rise was supported by the US trade agreement and positive cues from key Asian markets." He added that "A strong resurgence in FII inflows, coupled with rupee appreciation, is further bolstering the investor sentiment, although intermittent profit-booking was visible across sectors." Nair noted that with tariff worries easing, "The near-term market trajectory will hinge on Q3 earnings, which have been mixed and below expectations so far." Global markets showed mixed signals. Asian stocks advanced, led by Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 gaining 2.3% after Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election win. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan rose 0.6%. European markets opened flat with Germany’s DAX up 0.4%. US stock futures dipped slightly after Dow Jones hit a record high. Brent crude oil prices rose 29 cents to $69.33 per barrel, while US WTI crude went up 22 cents to $64.58. Analyst Tamas Varga said, "The market is still focused on the tensions between Iran and the U.S." The Indian rupee strengthened 0.2%, closing at 90.5775 against the US dollar from the previous 90.7575.
