Investor wealth soars Rs 13 lakh cr; Sensex +3,500, Nifty nears 5% following India-US trade deal

Indian equity markets soared on Tuesday, with the BSE Sensex gaining nearly 3,500 points and the Nifty 50 rising 4.7%, adding about Rs 13 lakh crore in investor wealth. The rally was driven by the India-US trade deal, foreign investor short-covering, a stronger rupee, and positive global market cues. Heavyweight stocks like Reliance Industries and Adani Ports led the surge, while analysts noted that Budget 2026’s growth and capex push further boosted investor confidence.
