Key gainers in early trade included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/company\/INDIGO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">InterGlobe Aviation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/company\/LT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Larsen &amp; Toubro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/company\/ADANIENT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Adani Enterprises<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/company\/SHRIRAMFIN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Shriram Finance<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/company\/ASIANPAINT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Asian Paints<\/a>. Financials and auto stocks also saw strong momentum, pushing benchmark indices higher within minutes of opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upbeat start comes ahead of the closely watched <strong>RBI MPC outcome<\/strong>, where Governor Sanjay Malhotra is set to announce the policy decision. Market expectations suggest the repo rate may remain unchanged at <strong>5.25%<\/strong>, according to poll estimates, keeping liquidity conditions stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broader markets mirrored the rally, with indices like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/indices\/2222\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Nifty 100<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/indices\/2223\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Nifty 200<\/a>, and midcap and smallcap indices rising over 2.5\u20133%. The sharp drop in <strong>India VIX by nearly 18%<\/strong> signaled reduced market volatility and improved investor confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global cues played a key role. Gift Nifty surged nearly 800 points after US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire linked to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil supply route. Cooling crude oil prices, down from $111.8 to $109 per barrel, also supported sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite recent volatility, the market had already ended higher in the previous session, with Sensex closing at 74,616.58 and Nifty at 23,123.65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors now remain focused on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbi.org.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">RBI<\/a>\u2019s stance, which could shape near-term direction for equities amid improving global stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian stock market surged sharply at the opening bell on April 8, with the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":994,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-market-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=993"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":995,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/993\/revisions\/995"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
