Bearish Trends Continue Amid Global Economic Concerns

Mumbai: A combination of negative factors such as relentless FII selling, falling rupee, expensive valuations and the US threat of reciprocating tariff levies continue to drive investors away from Indian equities. Barring metals, the slump in domestic markets was led by weakness in banking, IT, telecom, auto, realty and oil & gas shares.

Vaibhav Vidwani, Research Analyst, Bonanza, said: “The Indian stock market experienced a significant downturn, primarily influenced by renewed tariff threats from former President Donald Trump and persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). The BSE Sensex fell below the critical 75,500 mark, closing down approximately 424 points at 75,311.” Overall, the day’s trading reflected a continuation of bearish trends amid global economic concerns and sector-specific pressures.
