Indian stock markets ended higher on Monday with Sensex posting a complete recovery from Friday’s wipeout as concerns over US-China trade war eased after the United States approached China to settle down trade imbalances which steered a value buying in equities from Europe to Asia. The S&P BSE Sensex retook the 33,000-mark within a day after the benchmark index slipped to a level of 32,596.54, meanwhile, Nifty 50 also regained the psychological mark of 10,000 after diving to a low of 9,998.05 on Friday. The domestic markets witnessed a sharp slide on Friday with Sensex and Nifty tumbling to their respective 6-month lows after US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese imports which triggered a panic among investors on worries of a trade war.
Market relieve
The 30-share barometer Sensex rose 469.87 points or 1.44% to finish at 33,066.41 whereas the wider share indicator Nifty surged 132.6 points or 1.33% to conclude at 10,130.65 on Monday. Amid the European region, Britain’s FTSE index recoiled from its 15-month low as fears of full-blown trade conflict between the world’s two biggest economies — the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China — seemed to have mitigated, according to a Reuters report. The United States has contacted China seeking measures to reduce their trade imbalance, Reuters reported citing an unidentified report. During the day, Sensex advanced as much as 518.87 points to a day’s high of 33,115.41.
