The stock markets took a hit today! Sensex fell 636 points, Nifty dropped 174. Here’s why investors are on edge — in 60 seconds:
1. Trump’s Trade Move
The US plans to double tariffs on steel & aluminium to 50%. That’s bad news for Indian exporters like Tata Steel & Hindalco.
2. Global Slowdown Signs
Manufacturing is shrinking in the U.S. and China. That’s a clear red flag for global demand.
3. RBI Policy Ahead
Markets are nervous before Friday’s RBI meeting. A rate cut is likely, but what the RBI says will matter more.
4. US Debt Worries
The U.S. is discussing a new $3.8 trillion spending plan. Yields are rising, and that’s pulling equities down.
5. Oil Price Volatility
Crude is rising again, thanks to OPEC+ supply cuts. For India, higher oil means inflation risks.
6. Unclear Fed Signals
A Fed rate cut might come later this year—but there’s no clear timeline. Markets don’t like guessing games.
Takeaway?
₹2.5 lakh crore wiped off BSE market cap in a day. Eyes now on RBI — will it stabilize the mood?
