  • Nifty jumps 180 pts, Sensex up 0.7% as Trump eases EU tariffs, India-US deal hopes rise
    January 22, 2026, 12:27 AM EST. Indian markets opened higher on Thursday, with the Nifty 50 gaining 186.65 points (0.74%) and the BSE Sensex up 550 points (0.67%). The rally followed U.S. President Donald Trump's rollback of tariff threats against Europe and optimism around a possible India-U.S. trade deal. Broader indices like the Nifty 100, Smallcap 100, and Midcap 100 also showed gains. Sectoral indices including Auto, IT, Metal, PSU Bank, and Pharma climbed. Domestic institutional investors bought shares worth Rs 4,181 crore, while foreign investors sold Rs 1,680 crore. Experts cited easing global trade tensions and Trump's praise for PM Modi as key triggers. However, challenges remain from a strong dollar, foreign investor selling, and rupee weakness near record lows, fueling inflation concerns. Asian markets largely rose, led by gains in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea.
