Sensex, Nifty decline on global trends as fresh U.S. tariffs unnerve investors

Sensex, Nifty decline on global trends as fresh U.S. tariffs unnerve investors

The Hindu
Wednesday, April 9, 2025 11:31 AM GMT

Sensex and Nifty close lower amid global market losses, RBI cuts rates, U.S. tariffs escalate, market sentiment remains weak.

Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty closed lower on Wednesday (April 9, 2025) in line with losses in global markets amid escalating trade tensions, even as the Reserve Bank of India cut policy rates for a second consecutive time as it sought to bolster the economy in the face of further pressure from damaging U.S. tariffs.

The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 379.93 points or 0.51% to settle at 73,847.15. During the day, it slumped 554.02 points or 0.74% to a low of 73,673.06.

Trump’s global tariffs LIVE: Yuan falls to 2007 lows as tariffs on China kick in; Washington disregards WTO rules, says Russia

The NSE Nifty declined 136.70 points or 0.61% to 22,399.15. Intra-day, it tanked 182.6 points or 0.81% to 22,353.25.

Mirroring weak trends in Asian equities, domestic key equity indices opened lower and remained in the negative territory throughout the session after the U.S. imposed a fresh set of tariffs, including a whopping 104% levy on Chinese imports.

"Global financial markets are witnessing renewed selling pressure following the enactment of reciprocal tariffs. A trade war is escalating global risk, with a rise in U.S. bond yields prompting a sell-off in the world's safe treasury assets. In India, a cut in the repo rate, along with an accommodative policy stance, is taken as a constructive step. However, it has done little to uplift overall market sentiment, as the world is embracing recessionary risk," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

State Bank of India, Tech Mahindra, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Steel, Sun Pharma, Infosys, HCL Tech, Axis Bank, Tata Consultancy Services and NTPC were among the biggest laggards among Sensex shares.
