Stock market update

The Indian stock market has experienced increased volatility lately, driven by global recession concerns triggered by US President Donald Trump’s tariff measures.

On Wednesday, amid this turbulence, benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 ended the day lower even as the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy committee announced a 25 basis point cut in the repo rate and a change in its policy stance.

On April 09, the Indian benchmark indices traded sideways throughout the day, followed by a gap-down opening, closing the Nifty index near the 22,400 mark. The Sensex declined 379.93 points (0.51%) to settle at 73,847.15, while the Nifty fell 136.70 points (0.61%) to close at 22,399.15.

“Volatility is likely to be the order of the day over next few weeks with a negative bias, as uncertainty caused by the US decision to impose differential import tariffs have pushed investors to reduce equity bets at regular intervals. With local currency taking a huge knock over the past few sessions coupled with renewed FII selling in the current month so far, investors are resorting to caution," said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
