Why Stock Market Is Rising Today: Sensex Jumps Over 900 pts; Nifty Above 22,400

India’s stock market opened on a strong note today, with benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 surging over 1.5% in early trade. The sudden upswing comes as a relief to investors after Monday’s sharp selloff, driven by a mix of local and global cues that seem to have reignited positive sentiment.

Sensex jumped more than 900 points, while Nifty crossed the 22,400 mark, signaling renewed investor confidence and a possible change in short-term market direction.

5 Key Factors Behind Today’s Market Rally

1. Bargain Hunting After Sharp Fall

Markets tend to attract buyers after a heavy correction, and Tuesday’s rally is partly fueled by bargain hunting. After the previous session’s dip, several quality stocks became attractive for traders and investors, triggering a buying spree.

2. Broad-Based Recovery Across Asia

A rebound in other major Asian markets gave a further boost to Indian equities. Positive cues from regional peers helped lift sentiment across sectors, particularly large-cap stocks.

3. Hopes of Progress in U.S. Tariff Talks

Investors are also responding positively to hopes of easing tensions in U.S. tariff negotiations. Global markets have been closely watching developments between the U.S. and its key trade partners, and the optimism around talks has helped improve the risk-on mood.

4. Anticipation Around RBI Policy Meeting

Another major driver of today’s surge is the upcoming Reserve Bank of India (RBI) policy decision scheduled for April 9. Expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut are high, and this possibility has given additional momentum to rate-sensitive sectors like banking, real estate, and auto.

5. Technical Support and Momentum Buying

From a technical perspective, key support levels have held strong, prompting momentum buying from both institutional and retail investors. Traders are riding the positive momentum as Nifty regains strength above the psychological 22,400 level.

Market Mood Turns Positive – But Caution Remains

While today’s rally has brought smiles back to Dalal Street, investors are still advised to remain cautious ahead of the RBI policy announcement. Any surprises from the central bank could trigger volatility in the days ahead.

For now, Sensex jumping over 900 points and Nifty climbing past 22,400 shows a strong rebound — but all eyes are on whether this momentum can sustain throughout the week.
