4 reasons why markets rallied today
The markets saw brisk buying after trending lower for 10 days on the trot. There were many reasons supporting the rally in the markets.
1. No big impact seen from reciprocal tariffs from US: US President Donald Trump declared reciprocal tariffs on India and China. However, two reasons why the investors were not very worried at the moment were because the US Commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, in a conversation with Fox Business Network indicated some relief on tariffs for Mexico and Canada. The other key reason why India may escape a big impact is because India’s overall share of the global trade is miniscule and it is largely a domestic-driven economy. Analysts do not expect a huge outgo even if the reciprocal tariffs come to play.
2. Investors looking at bargain buys: Given the extent of the recent fall, many large cap stocks are now available at significantly attractive valuations. Many analysts pointed out that several high quality stocks are now available at more reasonable levels. Moreover, many big market minds voiced out their views that the Nifty at 22,000 could be used to buy stocks based on growth and valuations. This has also supported investor confidence and has given the rally fresh impetus.
3. China’s 5% GDP target sparks optimism across Asia: Investors are also taking cues from the Asian markets, which are higher after news of China announcing stimulus to boost the economy. This has been a sentiment booster. China has set the GDP target at around 5% for 2025. It also laid out stimulus measures to boost the economy amidst the announcement of additional tariffs from the US. The report brought cheer across Asian markets.
4. Heavy buying in mid and small caps: The broader markets too have participated in the rally today. Apart from value buying in blue-chips, we can see that many small and midcaps are also seeing brisk buying. This, as per most analysts, is because many mid and small caps stocks have reached attractive valuation levels after the recent sharp correction.

Share market today live updates: Markets recover as key support holds
"The Indian equity market experienced a strong rebound on Wednesday, March 5, following recent sharp decline, as value buying emerged around the key support range of 21,700-22,000. This pullback can be attributed to several factors, including the strength in Asian markets, bargain buying in oversold stocks and value buying in blue-chip stocks," said Bajaj Broking research.
"The Nifty index had been extremely oversold, having declined in 18 out of the last 19 trading sessions, making the pullback overdue from the deeply oversold zone. Nifty holding above the support area of 21,700-22,000 can lead to a pullback towards 22,800 levels in the coming sessions," the brokerage added.
