Global markets traded in lower territory amid Trump tariffs get in action
Indian markets snapped a four-month rally to end July in losses as simmering trade tensions with the US triggered a risk-off sentiment and caused a flight of foreign capital. The Nifty settled 86.7 points or 0.35% lower at 24,768.35 on Thursday, when monthly futures contracts expired. The BSE Sensex lost 296.28 points to close at 81,185.58. Asian stocks fell for a sixth straight session - the longest losing streak this year - as President Donald Trump announced new tariff rates and as solid earnings from megacap tech firms failed to lift broader market sentiment.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 0.4% at the open. US and European stock futures ticked lower as investors weighed fresh tariff measures announced by President Donald Trump. The S&P 500 contracts traded 0.1% down, while Euro Stoxx 50 futures slid 0.2%. Foreign portfolio investors remained net sellers of Indian equity for the ninth consecutive session. They offloaded stocks worth Rs 5,538.2 crore, according to provisional data from the National Stock Exchange.
