Sensex, Nifty fall for fourth day amid fresh U.S. tariff concerns, foreign fund outflows

Stock markets closed with losses as U.S. tariff threats shook investor confidence, Sensex dropped 548 points on February 10.

Stock markets closed with losses for the fourth consecutive day on Monday (February 10, 2025) with the benchmark Sensex declining by 548 points as fresh U.S. tariff threats shook investor confidence and triggered selling in bluechip banking, metal and oil shares.

The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 548.39 points or 0.70% to settle at a week’s low of 77,311.80. Intra-day, it tanked 753.3 points or 0.96% to 77,106.89.

The NSE Nifty declined 178.35 points or 0.76% to 23,381.60 dragged by losses in Trent, Tata Steel and Power Grid.

“The U.S. tariff threats continued to impact the market sentiment. Domestic yield is inching higher as investors stay cautious on riskier assets and navigate their investments to safe haven assets like gold,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, said.

From the 30-share Sensex pack, Power Grid, Tata Steel, Zomato, Titan, Bajaj Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra, NTPC and Tata Motors were among the major laggards.

Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bharti Airtel, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, ICICI Bank and Tata Consultancy Services were the gainers.

Sensex has dropped 1,272 points or 1.63% while Nifty tanked 357 points or 1.51% on the four-day decline since February 5.
