The other Asian indices faced a sharp downturn amid concerns over a global trade war and heightened recession fears.
Meanwhile, the US stock markets tanked more than 5% on Friday after Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs sparked fear among investors of a global economic recession.
The impact of Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs was felt on markets all over the globe. Likewise, Indian equities were weighed down by Trump’s reciprocal tariffs and the uncertainties surrounding them. India is one of the countries affected, with a 26% tariff imposed on all its exports.
