Indian Markets Plunge as FIIs Sell, US Tariffs Bite

Market Sentiment: negative
|
Importance Score: 8/10

Reasoning

The news summary details significant market declines, substantial FII outflows, and negative impacts from US tariffs, outweighing the few positive indicators. The six-day losing streak and substantial wealth erosion point to a strongly negative sentiment.

Key Takeaway

Indian markets are facing significant headwinds from FII selling and new US tariffs, creating a volatile environment for investors, but some sectors and companies are showing resilience.

View Full Market Analysis
  • Today was a tough day for Indian markets. The Sensex closed down 733.22 points, a drop of 0.90%, ending at 80,426.46, while the Nifty fell 0.95% to 24,654.70. This marks the sixth consecutive day of declines, and the worst weekly performance in seven months, with both indices slipping 2.6% this week. Investor wealth has eroded by a significant ₹15.5 trillion during this period.

  • A major factor driving this downturn is continued selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs). They’ve sold ₹13,450 crore worth of Indian equities just this month, and a massive ₹1,44,085 crore so far this year. Interestingly, these FIIs are shifting their investments to markets like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea, putting extra pressure on India.

  • Adding to the negativity, new US tariffs are rattling the market. A 100% tariff on branded pharmaceuticals is hitting Indian pharma stocks hard – the Nifty Pharma index plummeted 2.14% to 21,507.20. Waaree Energies also saw a 5% drop after a US probe into potential tariff evasion. Weakening growth forecasts from Accenture are also dragging down IT stocks, causing the Nifty IT index to fall 2.3%.

  • Despite the overall gloom, there are a few bright spots. Gold prices continue to rise, up over 47% in 2025, as investors seek safe-haven assets. Some stocks are bucking the trend – Larsen & Toubro (L&T) gained 3%, and CarTrade Tech surged nearly 8% after a positive analyst recommendation. PSU banks showed mixed results, with SBI reporting increased net profits (Rs 216,266 million, up from Rs 196,808 million year-over-year) boosted by a stake sale in Yes Bank worth Rs 88.89 billion, while Bank of Baroda saw net profits decline to Rs 33,519 million (down from Rs 45,805 million YoY).

  • Looking ahead: Expect continued volatility tomorrow. The FII outflow situation is a key concern. While some sectors like gold may benefit from market uncertainty, the overall trend suggests caution. Keep an eye on developments regarding the US tariffs and any further news on FII activity.

12 days -9.55%
