Indian equity markets rallied on Friday, April 11, 2025, with the BSE Sensex rising more than 1,000 points and the NSE Nifty scaling up sharply. The rally was driven by the announcement of a 90-day tariff suspension for 75 nations, including India, by U.S. President Donald Trump, which lifted investor sentiment across the world.
