Share Market: India’s benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty50, open in red on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. The Sensex (index with top 30 firms) dropped 268.60 points to 72,817.34 on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Nifty50 (index with top 50 firms) was down 108.25 points to 22,011.05 points.
Among sectoral indices, Nifty Bank remained flat but managed to stay in the green. However, Nifty Auto and Nifty IT faced sharp corrections, with losses of 1% and 2%, respectively.
Indian stock markets continuously in pressure as both indices are in declining mode due to uncertainty on tariff by Trump administration and continues foreign outflows.
Market sentiment remained weak as investors assessed the impact of global economic headwinds and sectoral pressures. Market experts predict that muted corporate earnings, concerns over economic slowdown, and persistent outflows by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have led to deep pessimism in the Indian equity markets. As the February derivatives expiry unfolds, investors are closely monitoring market movements to gauge further trends.
Meanwhile, the other Asian Markets also declined with Japan’s Nikkei index plunged 1.77%, Taiwan Weighted Index slipped 0.7%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index was down 0.33%, South Korea’s Kospi Index declined 0.26%.
Share Market: What Experts Are Saying?
“Trump Tariffs and Ukraine are dominating the markets today, as they have since the Nov 5th Elections outcome. Canada, Mexico and China tariffs will go ahead on Tuesday as per the latest White House communication on social media. India is showing strong green shoots in its domestic narrative, but the challenged global momentum means any bottoming in India is at least a couple of months away and a recovery from there could take a few more months after that,” Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert, told ANI.
Experts also blamed the negative market sentiment to growing concerns over a slowdown in the US economy behind the drop.
