Share market today: The Indian stock market saw a rise on Friday (April 11) following a positive indication of 90 days tariff break on selected countries by US President Donald Trump. Today i.e. on Friday, the 30 -share BSE Sensex opened up about 1000 points at 74,835.49. It closed at 73,847 on Wednesday. At 9:20 am, the Sensex rose 131.86 points or 1.53% to 74,979.01.

Trump banned taxes for 90 days
Trump made a major announcement on 9 April that the US would not impose any new duty on imports from most countries for the next three months. There is an atmosphere of hope in the Indian stock market after this announcement. This may pave the way for the first phase of the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) to finalize the first phase between India and the US.
However, the Trump administration has increased the total tariffs on imported goods from China to 145%. However, some categories such as copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and energy products are exempted from these increased charges. This has led to instability in global markets and has declined in the Asia-Pacific region’s markets.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 index fell 4.55% today after a strong rise on Thursday. South Korea’s Kospi fell 1.66% and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 fell nearly 1.93%.
