As for the trade today, the Nifty 50 and Sensex plunged into negative territory, snapping a seven-day winning streak as broad-based selling gripped the market. Investor sentiment turned cautious amid concerns over Trump’s impending tariffs set to take effect on 2 April, weakness in the Indian rupee, and rising oil prices, all of which fueled profit-booking.
The Sensex opened on a strong note, climbing to an intraday high of 78,167.87. However, selling pressure in select heavyweight stocks triggered a sharp reversal, pulling the index deep into the red. Similarly, the Nifty saw a modest initial uptick before retreating below the crucial 23,500 level.
By the closing bell, the Sensex had dropped 728.69 points or 0.93 percent to settle at 77,288.50, while the Nifty declined 181.80 points or 0.77 percent to 23,486.85. Market breadth reflected weak sentiment, with 892 stocks advancing, 2,992 declining, and 100 remaining unchanged.
