Global stock markets took a hit after Donald Trump’s tariff declarations, raising concerns about a recession. The Indian stock market, notably Dalal Street, mirrored this decline as Sensex and Nifty recorded substantial drops, leading to a significant loss in investor portfolios. The sell-off was primarily driven by foreign funds, although domestic investors offered some stability. Analysts believe that India’s robust domestic economy could provide some protection from the worldwide financial chaos, with the possibility of upcoming rate reductions.
