The stock market of India gained today on strong global cues as the US President Donald Trump back-off from his September 1 Chinese tariff plan. Yesterday, the US administration decided to extend their tariff plan to December 2019. The BSE Sensex gained 353 points and close at 37,311 levels — regaining the psychological 37,000 levels. The Nifty-50 index gained 103 points and closed at 11,029 levels, above the psychological 11,000 levels. Bank Nifty index shot up 290 points and closed at 28,019 levels, just above the psychological 28,000 resistance.

Giving idea about the current stock market of India Prakash Pandey, Head of Research at Fairwealth Securities said, "The Indian indices have gained due to the strong global cues caused by the Us President Donald Trump's decision to delay the imposition of 10 per cent tariff on the Chinese good from September 1, 2019. As the Nifty has closed above 11,000 levels, tomorrow close becomes crucial. If it opens above the psychological levels and closes above this, then we can expect some 100 t0 150 points rally in the Nifty index." However, Pandey maintained that till Nifty is below 11,300 buy on dips would be the ideal way of trade.
