The recently finalized India-US trade deal, which reduces US tariffs on Indian goods from 50% to 18%, has boosted investor confidence and triggered significant foreign institutional investor buying in Indian equity markets. This development has lifted market sentiment, leading to rallies in benchmark indices and gains in export-oriented sectors.

The deal is also seen as incrementally positive for companies like Reliance Industries due to improved crude oil sourcing options.
