The Indian stock markets witnessed a sharp decline of over 5% on Monday, in line with the global selloffs that were sparked by escalating trade tensions and the imposition of new tariffs by the United States. President Trump’s recent announcement of wide-ranging tariffs has sent shockwaves across international markets, with concerns mounting about the impact on global economies. There are fears that Trump’s strategy might be aimed at manipulating Federal Reserve policies by intentionally causing market turmoil. These tariffs are expected to drive up consumer prices, further exacerbating worries about the possibility of economic recessions. The uncertainty surrounding the trade situation has created a sense of unease among investors, leading to significant sell-offs in stock markets worldwide. The situation remains fluid as market participants closely monitor developments and news related to trade negotiations and tariff implementations.
