Indian Stocks Fall on US Tariffs; ₹4.67 Lakh Crore Wiped Out

Market Sentiment: negative
|
Importance Score: 8/10

Reasoning

The news is predominantly negative due to significant market decline driven by US tariffs and substantial foreign fund withdrawals. While some positive news exists, the overall impact is strongly bearish.

Key Takeaway

Today’s market decline was largely driven by new U.S. tariffs, highlighting the importance of monitoring global trade policies and their potential impact on your investments.

View Full Market Analysis
  • Today was a tough day for the Indian stock market. The BSE Sensex closed down 705.97 points, a drop of 0.87%, ending at 80,080.57. The NSE Nifty50 also fell, losing 211.15 points (0.85%) to finish at 24,500.90. Overall, investors saw approximately ₹4.67 lakh crore wiped off the market value, bringing the total market capitalization of BSE-listed firms down to ₹445.27 lakh crore.

  • Tariffs Take a Toll: The biggest driver of today’s decline was the new 50% tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Indian imports. This caused significant concern, leading to foreign fund withdrawals totaling ₹6,516.49 crore on August 26th. While Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) did buy ₹7,060.37 crore worth of stocks, it wasn’t enough to offset the selling pressure. Analysts predict continued volatility, with the Nifty potentially finding support between 24,071 and 23,860.

  • Block Deals & Bonus Issues Create Choppy Trading: Several individual stocks experienced significant movement due to block deals. IndiGo shares fell by as much as 5.52% after a ₹7,085 crore stake was sold by the Gangwal family. HDFC Bank also saw a 1.89% drop following a block deal of 15.6 lakh shares, compounded by trading ex-bonus after a 1:1 bonus issue. These deals show that large investors are making moves, which can create short-term price swings.

  • Bright Spots Amidst the Gloom: Not all news was negative. SMS Pharmaceuticals received a positive USFDA inspection report with zero observations, suggesting potential for future growth. Auro Impex & Chemicals’ expansion into stainless steel pipe manufacturing and MRC Agrotech’s distribution deal for nano-agrochemicals also generated positive sentiment. Wockhardt Ltd. also saw a credit rating upgrade, signaling positive momentum. Plus, Motilal Oswal recommends a 'Buy' rating for Coforge, with a potential 29% upside to a target price of ₹2,240.

  • IPO Caution: The Mangal Electrical IPO listed at a slight discount, down 0.9% against its issue price, despite being oversubscribed almost 10 times. This shows that even strong demand doesn’t guarantee a successful listing. Edelweiss Financial Services looks promising, with a 29% CAGR over the last two years and a stake acquired by Sunil Singhania’s Abakkus.
