Saralnama

Indian stock markets declined amid the implementation of 50% US tariffs on India starting August 27, 2025. The BSE Sensex fell by over 700 points, closing near 80,080, while the NSE Nifty 50 dropped below 24,500. Key sectors such as banking and IT experienced significant selling pressure. The Nifty MidCap and SmallCap indices also declined, reflecting broad market weakness. Market volatility increased, with the India VIX rising. Investors are closely monitoring US tariffs and Federal Reserve policies as critical factors influencing future fundraising and market movements. Major stocks like Titan and Larsen & Toubro showed gains, whereas Shriram Finance, HCL Tech, and TCS faced losses. The overall market trend indicates sustained selling pressure and downward momentum across short and medium terms. (Updated 29 Aug 2025, 08:11 IST; source: link)
