Mumbai's stock market turned lively on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, with the Sensex zooming up nearly 595 points. The 30-share BSE Sensex leapt 594.95 points or 0.73% to close at a dazzling 82,380.69. It even touched a high of 82,443.48 during the day, a jump of 657.74 points or 0.80%. The NSE Nifty wasn't left behind either, climbing 169.90 points or 0.68% to finish at 25,239.10. Why this cheerful surge? It’s all about the talks between India and the U.S. that have just kicked off. Both countries are chatting to solve tricky tariff issues that have worried exporters. A government official confirmed these crucial negotiations. Adding fuel to the fire, Asian and U.S. markets rallied too, boosting home market spirits just before the U.S. Federal Reserve's big policy meeting this week. Key Sensex stars like Kotak Mahindra Bank, Larsen & Toubro, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti, Bharti Airtel, and Tata Steel saw their prices soar, making investors smile. But it wasn’t a full party — Asian Paints and Bajaj Finance slipped down a bit. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, summed it up well: "The domestic market sustained its recovery trend, supported by favourable global cues on expectations of a 25 bps rate cut in the forthcoming U.S. Fed policy decision and renewed optimism surrounding the resumed India-U.S. trade negotiations. Auto and consumer durable stocks outperformed, ahead of the rollout of new GST rates and festive-driven demand expectations." Across Asia, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225, and Shanghai's SSE Composite cheered and closed higher, though Hong Kong's Hang Seng took a small dip. Europe’s markets showed some weakness, trading lower. Meanwhile, U.S. markets ended higher on Monday, September 15. On the energy front, Brent crude oil slipped 0.55% to $67.07 per barrel. Not all news was rosy though; Foreign Institutional Investors sold stocks worth ₹1,268.59 crore on Monday. Before this lively Tuesday, Monday saw the Sensex dip by 118.96 points to 81,785.74, breaking a five-day rally, and the Nifty slipped 44.80 points to 25,069.20, ending an eight-day upward streak. Stock lovers, watch this space – the markets are buzzing with fresh hopes and action!
