The BSE Sensex opened 92.12 points, or 0.11%, higher at 82,906.83, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 107.15 points, or 0.42%, to open at 25,678.40.
Market extended rally amid strong buying across most sectors. The Sensex rallied 600 points, while the Nifty 50 traded above 25,700 level, and the Bank Nifty rose above 61,200.
Broader markets supported the rally, with the Nifty Smallcap 100 and the Nifty Midcap 100 indices trading in the green.
The US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s earlier reciprocal tariffs. Trump subsequently signed an executive order imposing a fresh 15% global tariff for 150 days.
Globally, Asian markets traded higher, while the US stock market gained last week after the SCOTUS ruling on Trump tariffs.
Meanwhile, investors will watch out for the nuclear talks between US and Iran amid the ongoing geopolitical tensions. President Trump’s remarks about potentially exploring alternative legal routes to advance his tariff agenda may also keep market sentiment vulnerable and volatile.
