BSE Sensex was at 83,970.33, up 2,304 points or 2.82%.Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited said, “The dramatic announcement of the long-awaited US-India trade deal and the US decision to cut tariffs on India from 50% to 18% is a game changer for the Indian economy and stock markets. The deal getting delayed was the single important factor that was weighing on the markets. The impact of the deal will be manifold: One, India’s growth rate will rise to around 7.5% in FY27 assisted by higher exports to the US. Two, corporate earnings already showing signs of revival in FY 27 can accelerate to around 16 to 18%. Three, rupee will strengthen sharply. The combination of the US-India trade deal, the EU-India trade deal and the growth-oriented Budget will boost the market sentiments and the animal spirits in the economy. The stock market, anticipating and discounting these developments will boom. Technically, the market which is hugely short, will witness short-covering adding fuel to the rally. The rally will be widespread across market caps; but the largecaps which are fairly valued have the potential to outperform aided by FII inflows. The FII favourites in largecaps like the banking leaders, non-banking financials and other bluechips in telecom, capital goods and IT, will surge. Textile stocks will be on special focus. This is going to be the beginning of a boom in the Indian stock markets taking it to new records.”Meanwhile, US stocks finished higher on Monday. Gains were led by artificial intelligence and semiconductor stocks, while small-cap shares outperformed the broader market. The Russell 2000 advanced about 1 percent, extending its lead over the S&P 500 and Nasdaq so far in 2026.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts are their own.
