Stock Market Today: Key Highlights

• The equity market on Monday saw one of the worst falls for the benchmark indices, such as Sensex and Nifty 50. 
• This bloodbath puts most investors in a dilemma on which stocks to watch today.
•  India is unlikely to retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariff policy. 
• On the other hand, the tariff policy may offer competitive advantages to UK-based companies. 

The tit-for-tat situation between China and the United States raised a fear of recession in the US and foreign outflows from India and other emerging markets. Experts claimed that lack of accessibility to the US market would result in China dumping its overcapacity in Asian regions like India. Moreover, fear of this long-lasting tariff war led to a declining FDI by a higher percentage. 

As per Nomura, market positioning appears relatively light now, and a short-lived rally from technically oversold levels is not ruled out. 

The Economic Times has reported that ₹19 lakh crore wiped out as Sensex starts with whopping 3,000 point cut and Nifty below 21,800.
