For the second day in a row, the bulls were all smiles on Dalal Street, as the benchmark indices ended with handsome gains. Easing trade war fears on reports that the US and China are willing to renegotiate tariffs and trade imbalances boosted investors to ditch safe-haven assets and go for riskier bets.

The 30-share pack added 108 points on Tuesday to end at 33,174. NSEs Nifty50 gained 53 points to settle at 10,184.

Here's a look at top events and announcements you should know about Tuesday's trade –

Ashok Leyland to increase prices

Shares of the company settled flat at Rs 144.65.
