Indian stocks rose as areas returned to normal after a long weekend, with the NSE Nifty 50 Index in Mumbai rising by up to 2.4 % on Tuesday, surpassing its final amount on April 2. This rebound, according to Bloomberg, makes India the first significant market to completely erase losses brought on by the mutual tariffs that US President Donald Trump imposed earlier this month.
India’s quick recovery has underlined its growing belief as a comparative safe haven in the face of ongoing international market volatility, as per the Bloomberg report, while a wider index of Eastern companies remains down over 3 % since the price presentations.
Powerful local fundamentals
Investors continue to think that India’s big, domestic-driven economy is better prepared than other nations to avoid potential international slowdowns. India continues to pursue a diplomatic approach and works toward a temporary trade agreement with Washington, in contrast to Beijing’s hostile attitude, which is further strengthened by the escalating US-China business war.
This year, the business delegations from India and America will commence discussions on a bilateral deal agreement.
” We continue to have India in our portfolios,” said Gary Dugan, CEO of The Global CIO Office. American stocks are seen as a safer gamble over the medium term thanks to strong private development and aided by a good growth of supply chains away from China, he told Bloomberg.
Investor prospect improved
Slowing economic growth, high prices, and continued international investor flows have caused India’s strong rebound, which comes after the Handy 50’s nearly 10 % decline over the previous two quarters. Nearly the$ 17 billion withdrawn in 2022, foreign investors have sold more than$ 16 billion in American stocks on a online schedule this year.

India seen as resilient in the face of threats from international business
According to Bloomberg data, the Nifty 50 is currently trading at 18.5 % of its projected 12-month earnings, compared to a 19.5 % average and a 21-point peak multiple in late September.
Given its low immediate revenue exposure to the US, especially on the goods side, India is no insulated, but rather fairly better positioned as a result of a trade war, according to Rajat Agarwal, a strategist at Societe Generale SA. ” Indian equities may even benefit if oil prices remain low.”
India accounted for only 2.7 % of all US imports last year, which is significantly lower than China’s 14 % and Mexico’s 15 %, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
