Share Market Today: What’s Behind The Drop?
- The Indian rupee is continuously witnessing decline, weakened to a record low on Monday. Moreover, the concerns over potential US trade tariffs led to losses in regional currencies.
- US President Donald Trump said that the new 25% tariffs would be imposed on all steel and aluminum imports, in addition to existing duties. This led to metal stocks to a sharp decline. These stocks were among the worst performers in Monday’s trade.
- The recent Delhi election results, which saw the BJP secure a decisive victory, were anticipated to bring stability to market sentiment. However, the impact has been eclipsed by global concerns and the activities of foreign investors, who continue to exert significant influence over market trends.
- Union Budget, presented on February 1 and RBI’s MPC decision to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 6.25% failed to impress the equity markets.
